Siemens PLC job 40

i recently made a prgram with a S7-300 CPU313 and in that program i had to use job 40 for getting time and date in s7 format. they told me how to program this job so now i still dont know what that job exactly does. thats why i posted this topic cause i hope someone can explain me how job 40 works

regards walters
