Hi,
Variable 'dt' is declared as string, while within the message it has been quoted as '%d'. Change it to '%s' and try. Function num.to.date$ returns formatted string.

message("after dayno=%s", dt)

You can't use the 'date' functions with UTC dates/times. They are reserved for the date numbers that do not include time (domain tfgld.date). Since you have times and timezones involved with UTC dates, the functions to use for conversions are different and more robust. See help for more info. If you want to simply print a date based on a UTC number, use "utc.to.inputstr$()":

string dt(12), tm(12)
long ret

| Use can use your favorite date/time formats in the 2nd and 3rd arguments.
ret = utc.to.inputstr(dayno, "%u001", %U001", dt, tm)
message("after dayno=$1%s", dt)
