Hi Andreas,

thank you for your help, I didn't realize I was using the wrong format for
what I wanted.
I don't have much experience with the project.
The format I wanted was: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sZ
is +'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.0Z' do what I want or are there still some mistakes
there?

Thank you again and sorry for the bug report, it was late and I was sure to
have found a bug ^^"

Best regards

Stéphane Archer
