Hi Hermann.
Andy's answer is correct. The idea is that with no arguments strftime()
defaults to the value of PROCINFO["strftime"] and the current time of day,
but if you have a specific timestamp, you need to also supply a format
value.
However, having it available from PROCINFO["stftime"] lets you not have
to remember (or look up) the values for the format string, you can just
do
timestamp = ... # get from whatever
print strftime(PROCINFO["strftime"], timestamp)
Thanks,
Arnold
