Format function example
This example shows various uses of the Format function to format values by using both named and user-defined formats. For the date separator (/), time separator (:), and AM/ PM literal, the actual formatted output displayed by your system depends on the locale settings on which the code is running. When displayed in a field, the short time and short date formats of the system locale are used, which may differ from the code locale. For these examples, English/United States is assumed.
