Millisecond part of SCDateTimeMS variable

I'm trying to get time with milliseconds for records in Time&Sales array using code below but millisecond part of time variable does not print to the log.
Please advise how to output millisecond part of SCDateTimeMS variable to log.
Is there a function to extract millisecond part of SCDateTimeMS variable as integer in order to use it in calculations?

  SCDateTimeMS TSADateTime;
  SCString MsgLog;

  sc.GetTimeAndSales(TSA);
  int TSArrSize = TSA.GetArraySize() - 1;
  for (t = TSArrSize; t >= 0; t--)
  {
    TSADateTime = TSA[t].DateTime;
    TSADateTime += sc.TimeScaleAdjustment;

    MsgLog.Format(" TSADateTime: %s ", sc.FormatDateTime(TSADateTime).GetChars());
    sc.AddMessageToLog(MsgLog,0);
}

sc.FormatDateTime will not show the milliseconds.

You can get the milliseconds. Refer to the documentation here for this:

Still no success in getting millisecond part. Using the following code:

  int year,month,day;
  int hour, minute, second, millisecond;

  SCDateTimeMS TSADateTime = TSA[t].DateTime;
  TSADateTime += sc.TimeScaleAdjustment;
  TSADateTime.GetDateTimeYMDHMS_MS( year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond);

  MsgLog.Format(" %d-%d-%d %d:%d:%d.%d ", year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond);
  sc.AddMessageToLog(MsgLog,0);

Date & Time is OK but millisecond number is 0 although IQFeed Watch Quote tool clearly shows milliseconds.

When I started using SCDateTimeMS variable in the code Message Log printed error: "IQFeed Level 2 error: Account not authorized for Level II | 2014-09-09 20:57:12". Is this somehow related? Do I need Level 2 authorization just to receive millisecond part? See below full text...

You will not see any milliseconds on 1 minute data.

Yes, base chart is 1 minute but it does not matter because the study behind it processes every tick of data from Time & Sales array and outputs it to message log. Each record above is one tick data with timestamp (TM:) and unique SC Tick ID (TID:) so milliseconds should be there. The problem is SC replaces original IQFeed milliseconds number by artificial consecutive digit so timestamps for every tick look like this:

IQFeed SC
20:57:11.359 20:57:11.0
20:57:11.495 20:57:11.1
20:57:11.882 20:57:11.2

This was discussed in this post: https://www.sierrachart.com/supportboard/showthread.php?t=42371

You wrote: "We will be using the actual IQ feed timestamps and they will override the Sierra Chart incremental millisecond timestamp." But that is not happening.

This is not the case. We are not using the data feed milliseconds.

So there's no way I can have access to authentic timestamp milliseconds information via SC code?

Not now. We have looked at this possibility, but it is just something that requires so much detailed analysis to implement correctly, that we have deferred it.

Dear SC,
Please give it another go, you simply have no idea how important it is to the security of us traders...
Seriously if a more inferior platform like Multicharts support Microseconds (yes micro!), than you guys can't find the way to support Milliseconds?

* At least, for the mean time, give us ACSIL coders an SC member (something like "sc.DatafeedDateTimeOfLastTrade") that gives the feed's timestamp down to the millisecond of the last tick/trade.


Thanks.
