  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Let ( [ UnixTimeAdjusted = (UnixTime + (time_zone_offset * 3600)); days = Truncate(Div(UnixTimeAdjusted;86400);0); days_remainder = Mod(UnixTimeAdjusted;86400); hours = Truncate(Div (days_remainder; 3600);0); hours_remainder = Mod (days_remainder; 3600); minutes = Truncate(Div( hours_remainder; 60);0); minutes_remainder = Mod ( hours_remainder; 60); seconds = minutes_remainder ]; Timestamp (Date ( 1; 1; 1970) + days; Time ( hours ; minutes ; seconds )) ) Click to copy

Inspired by Tony Moller's Unix_Date (this is, I believe, the same thing in reverse). See http://www.briandunning.com/cf/64

For a good definition of Unix Time, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_Time

Be careful that the time zone offset takes into account daylight savings time.
