In V11 and later, two modes were added to the c-treeACE GETNAM() API function (full name GetSymbolicNames) to retrieve the current server-side date and time:
CURTIME - Retrieve the current server time expressed as the number of seconds since 01/01/1970. This was implemented for a 4-byte buffer.
CURTIMETM - Retrieve the current server time in the local time (timezone, daylight, etc). This mode retrieves a buffer of ctTM time, which is similar to the regular "struct tm" type.
