Is there any way in flexsim to get current UTC timestamp in the format of DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS timeformat?

Here's a realtime conversion script:
string yearstring=realtime(12);
yearstring=yearstring.substr(yearstring.length-4,4);
string timestring=realtime(10);
string datestring=realtime(11);
datestring=datestring.substr(1,datestring.length-2)+yearstring;
DateTime now=DateTime(datestring+" "+timestring,"%m/%d/%Y %T");
string offset=now.toString("%z");
int hrOffset=offset.substr(2,2).toNum();
int minOffset=offset.substr(4,2).toNum();
int sign=offset.substr(1,1)=="-"?-1:1;
DateTime diff=DateTime(3600*hrOffset+60*minOffset);
now=now-sign*diff;
return now.toString();
You might try the realtime() command.
realtime() returns the real clock time in a variety of formats based on the input parameter.
