Found STRFTIME just after I posted the message.
I tried ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH}, %d%m%Y-%H\:%M\:%S)} but it returned an 
empty string (I wanted to get the same output as DATETIME but with 
escaped colons. What would have been the correct syntax? I finally used 
just ${EPOCH} instead, but I'm curious how I could have escaped the colons.
