How to add date and time to post?

I would like to add a variable to the start/end of my post processor that would add a comment that shows the date and time of when the post was made. This is mostly so that after the files have been transferred among machines it's easier to figure out which revision is the latest if I forget to change the file name to reflect it. Thanks

Use the variable [TIME_STAMP] in the post processor to output the system time & date in the posted code.
Edit your post processor and under Start up code in the Start/End tab add the above variable along with comment start & end characters
For example ([TIME_STAMP])
This variable is available in 2015 version of MecSoft CAM products.
