Description:
Use the <long> <keyword> to obtain a date, time, name, ID, or list of <files> or <folders> with the greatest amount of available detail.

In general, a <long> form is longer than either the <short> form or the <abbreviated> form.

If the useSystemDate <property> is set to false, a long <date> looks like this:
Thursday, June 22, 2000
If the useSystemDate is true, the long <date> is formatted according to the system settings.

If the useSystemDate <property> is set to false, a long <time> looks like this:
11:22:47 AM
If the useSystemDate is true, the long <time> is formatted according to the system settings.

A long object name consists of the <object type>, followed by the name in quotes, for the <object> and its <owner> (and the <owner> of that <object>, and so on). For example, a long <card> name looks like this:
card "My Card" of stack "/Drive/Folder/Stack.rev"

A long object ID looks like this:
card "My Card" of stack "/Drive/Folder/Stack.rev"

>*Note:*  The <long> <keyword> is implemented internally as a <property> and <function>, and appears in the <propertyNames> and the <functionNames>. However, it cannot be used as a <property> in an <expression>, nor with the <set> <command>.
