given a UNIX (ISO) timestamp, the function gets the date, the time, or the timestamp in the FileMaker Format

UNIX timestamp: 2013-01-15T12:25:00
Format-Parameter:
D -> 15.1.2013
DT -> 15.1.2013 12:25:00
T -> 12:25:00

Please note: The formatting (time, date..) for the result has to be specified using the inspector

The input may be called ISO format rather than UNIX timestamp (number of seconds from an epoch).

Strange idea to write custom functions in other language than English... Personnaly, i want to use it but don't understand.

in this case, it's better - since it uses the Swiss date-format... there are always problems with dates like 5.3.2017 - is it may or is it march... (-:
