But instaead what you are getting is...??

Main thing that might trip you is that :strftime doesn't just add the
timestamp to the value it replaces it.  So as far as I know, you can't
print both the value and the timestmamp.

(also, "sTRftime", not "sRTftime")

So instead of that, you'd need:

GPRINT:phavg:"  Peak Value= %3.0lf mbar " \
GPRINT:phavg:"  Peak Time = %H %m " :strftime

I think you're seeing a bit in the documentation that a particular form
of GPRINT (one with an integrated CF function) has been deprecated.  The
form you are using above is not.
