I think it was used at some moment, when multiple platforms where supported, like DOS, Windows and Mac. When converting the report from one platform to another, multiple copies of the records where maintained (for the different platforms); the timestamp (I think) was to make sure an older version of a record didn't overwrite a newer version.
