llSuccess = .F.

lcUlid = "01GRH14AA82EY9A7S99YYF2QDY"

loDt = createobject("CkDateTime")

// Unix timestamps stored in ULIDs should be UTC...
llBLocal = .F.
// Set the CkDateTime from the timestamp contained in the ULID
llSuccess = loDt.SetFromUlid(llBLocal,lcUlid)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? "ULID was not valid."
    release loDt
    return
endif

// You can now get the date/time in any desired format.
// For example:
? "Unix timestamp = " + str(loDt.GetAsUnixTime(llBLocal))
? "RFC822 = " + loDt.GetAsRfc822(llBLocal)
? "Timestamp = " + loDt.GetAsTimestamp(llBLocal)

// Sample output:

// Unix timestamp = 1675608861
// RFC822 = Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:54:21 GMT
// Timestamp = 2023-02-05T14:54:21Z
