To get time and ms, CHRTRAN(TIME(1), ":.", "")

FWIW: I've used DTOS(DATE())+CHRTRAN(TIME(1), ":.", "")
This gives you yyyymmddhhmmssmsms which sorts better meets more Y2K compliant date configuration. It also makes sorting cleaner by year (if need that sort of thing). e.g., at the time of writing this: 2001042510112630

In a very fast loop this presents the same problem as SYS(3), namely duplicate values, but I don't create files that fast :)
