QUIZ or other 4GLs might be able to do this.  I didn't look up the
PowerHouse date format for the K1 type, so it may be the same.  However,
why not write a quick program?  Here's a simple SPLash!
 
    date := CALENDAR;
    time := CLOCK;
    move ba'buf     := 80(" ");
    FMTDATE (date, time, ba'buf(25));
 
Where data is a logical, time is a double, and ba'buf is a byte (or
character) array.  The intrinsic names are in caps.  Very easy, simple
and quick.
