That works - thank you for the pointer.  I was not aware of the word "NOW" - I 
have always used the variable ${EPOCH} when I needed a timestamp.

Do you know where this is documented?  I would have expected it to be in 
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Standard+Channel+Variables 
for example, which does mention ${EPOCH}, and also shows an example of 
${STRFTIME()}, using ${EPOCH} as the timestamp value.

Programming is a Dark Art, and it will always be. The programmer is
fighting against the two most destructive forces in the universe:
entropy and human stupidity. They're not things you can always
overcome with a "methodology" or on a schedule.
