Time format "yyyyMMdd.HHmmss.mmm" or "yyyyMMdd.HHmmss.SSS" ? #404

Hi,

Many zAppbuild scripts use the formatting string yyyyMMdd.HHmmss.mmm to format a date-time, but shouldn't the string yyyyMMdd.HHmmss.SSS be used instead?

mmm does not stand for "microsecond", unlike SSS, (S for fraction of second).

Confer SimpleDateFormat patterns.

Yes, I think you're right. I never noticed that before... In some examples I've seen on our environment: Build start at 20230911.043529.035 The last part 035 is actually the minutes on 3 digits, as we see the same minutes in 043529. I've check on other builds and it's always the same... We'll work on a fix for the next release!

Thank for reporting that problem @FALLAI-Denis !
