How to get file created file stamp?

Question

I have some data in .csv which I analyse in JMP and generate graphs using graph builder.

I want to display the time file was created on the graph window.

How can I do this?

I used fomat(Creation date("filepath"),"ddmmyy:h:m:s");

But doesnt seem to work.

I think your format string is wrong. You need to use one of the strings shown in the Time formats in the Column Info dialog.

//:*/
date = Creation date("~/Desktop/Screen captures/45552.gif");
formatted = format( date,"d/m/y h:m:s");
show(formatted);

/*:

formatted = "05/10/2017 9:32:03 PM";

What did it do? Is there any message in the log?

You can break this down into two simpler questions like this:

date = Creation date("filepath");
show(date);
formatted = format( date,"ddmmyy:h:m:s");
show(formatted);

then look in the log. You might get a simple error message, or you might get a missing value for date or formatted. I'd be a little suspicious of the format string (too many colons?), but I'm away from my desk and can't try it.
