Time
(1)
If there is no message text number or system time in these display types, 6 "*" characters appear in the printout instead
(the CP 341 does not keep the time). %N is the only conversion statement which cannot be used in the message text.
(2)
The P display type is only permitted in the format string. P is not permitted in configurable message texts.
(3)
The current time and date must be read first by means of the SFC 1 "READ_CLOCK" system function and stored in the
user memory (bit memory, data).
