Use
The purpose of this call is to convert a 5 byte UTC time into a string, giving the date and time.
Notes
This call returns the local time, language and alphabet.
The format string is copied directly into the result buffer, except when a ‘%’ character
appears. In this case the next two characters are treated as a special field name which is
replaced by a component of the current time.
This call replaces the use of OS_ConvertDateAndTime.
