I was more thinking along the lines of adding an extra formatting specifier %^ or something like this to the beginning of the format string, which would say to format the time in UTC instead of local time. The advantage of this would be that in LabVIEW 7 the same formatting specifiers are also used in the advanced formatting settings for numeric and timestamp controls displaying absolute time/date. Maybe an extension of this would be %<offset in seconds>^ to use a specific time zone offset to use.
