I usually use MyTimeStamp = %DATE + %TIME and that gives me the current
time (doesn't get the milliseconds though)


Hi Jim, much safer to use MytimeStamp = %TIMESTAMP.

If you also need the matching date and time, you could then do
   MyDate = %DATE(MyTimeStamp);
   MyTime = %TIME(MyTimeStamp);

Doing %DATE and %TIME separately, you might do the %DATE one side of
midnight and the %TIME the other side of midnight, giving you 24 hours
too early, say 
   2006-10-20-00.00.01
rather than either  
   2006-10-20-23.59.59
   2006-10-21-00.00.01
