OrCAD's Windows products use two time formats. One is Microsoft's file timestamp structure. This structure stores time (from January 1, 1601) in 100 nanosecond increments in a 64-bit structure. It will provide correct time and date functions until sometime past the year 57,000. The other format is used for general time keeping and non-file related timestamps. It is Microsoft's implementation of the ANSI standard time and date functions. These functions, defined in the ANSI 'C' file header "time.h", provide correct time and date formats until 19:14:07 on January 18, 2038.

These time data structures are properly used within OrCAD's Windows-based software products to format and compare times and dates until the year 2038.
