oDt := CreateObject("Chilkat.CkDateTime")

//  Set dt to the current system date/time.
oDt:SetFromCurrentSystemTime()

//  Generate a ULID for the current UTC date/time.
//  (i.e. the current UTC UNIX-time)
nUtc := 1
cUlid := oDt:UlidGenerate(nUtc)
? cUlid

//  example result: 01GRGCH4J88RECEN4D4VK4F629

//  Generate a ULID using the local timezone's current time.

//  To generate a ULID using a specific UNIX timestamp

//  For example, the Unix timestamp for Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:57:46 GMT
//  is 1675609066

//  For more information about the Epoch Unix Timestamp, see Epoch Unix Timestamp

//  To generate a ULID from a specified date/time, set the CkDateTime and then generate the ULID.
oDt2 := CreateObject("Chilkat.CkDateTime")
nUtc := 1
oDt2:SetFromUnixTime(nUtc, 1675609066)
cUlid := oDt2:UlidGenerate(nUtc)
? cUlid
