Standard date format – Laurent Schneider

Let’s start with Powershell

Get-Date -format "o"
2019-03-08T17:41:02.7346332+01:00

The “O” or “o” standard format specifier represents a custom date and time format string using a pattern that preserves time zone information and emits a result string that complies with ISO 8601
docs.microsoft.com

Now Linux

date "+%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S.%3N%z"

In SQL

to_char(current_timestamp, 'YYYYMMDD"T"HH24:MI:SS.FF3TZH:TZM')

for my XML fans

extractvalue(xmlelement(t, current_timestamp),'/*')

Now in AIX

 perl -e '
      use strict;
      use POSIX "strftime";
      use Time::Piece;
      use Time::HiRes "gettimeofday";
      my($x,$y)=gettimeofday;
      my $s=Time::Piece->new;
      my $t=$s->tzoffset;
      printf "%s.%03d%+03d:%02d\n",
        strftime("%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S",localtime($x)),
        $y/1000,
        $t/3600,
        abs($t)%3600/60;
      '

Could not have figured out without google 😉
The GNU date could also be installed in AIX, but I am not root

A more generic unix version would be the UTC date

date -u "+%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%SZ"
