In Gen, a function is used in order to acquire the value of a CURRENT_TIMESTAMP variable from the system time.
As different generation languages have been implemented in Gen over time the method used by each function has evolved, and this has resulted in improved precision for C#.
The value of a timestamp is kept with the format of yyyymmddhhmmssnnnnnn (20 digits). When displaying the value of a timestamp on a window, it is displayed according to the defined edit pattern for the field.
