XMPLFormat string to convert a time specificationUXMPL
A time format string consists of format commands and the output characters. Format commands tell the output function how to convert a parameter to character output. All characters, which build no format command, that is, which do not start with the "%" percent sign, remain untouched and will be written as passed to the output function.

The structure of format commands:
