Syntax

      Secs( <cTime> ) --> nSeconds

Arguments

<cTime> Character expression in a time string format

Returns

<nSeconds> Number of seconds

Description

Seconds()

Returns the number of elapsed seconds past midnight.

Syntax

      Seconds() --> nSeconds

Arguments

None

Returns

<nSeconds> Number of seconds since midnight

Description

This function returns a numeric value representing the number of elapsed seconds based on the current system time. The system time is considered to start at 0 (midnight); it continues up to 86399 seconds. The value of the return expression is displayed in both seconds and hundredths of seconds.

ELAPTIME()

Calculates elapted time.

Syntax

      ELAPTIME(<cStartTime>,<cEndTime>) --> cDiference

Arguments

<cStartTime> Start in time as a string format <cEndTime> End time as a string format

Returns

<cDiference> Difference between the times

Description

This function returns a string that shows the difference between the starting time represented as <cStartTime> and the ending time as <cEndTime>. If the stating time is greater then the ending time, the function will assume that the date changed once.

Examples

      STATIC s_cStartTime
      INIT PROCEDURE Startup()
         s_cStartTime := Time()
         RETURN
      EXIT PROCEDURE StartExit()

 Return the system time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     TIME() --> cTimeString

 Returns

     TIME() returns the system time as a character string in the form
     hh:mm:ss.  hh is hours in 24-hour format, mm is minutes, and ss is
     seconds.

 Description

     TIME() is a time function that displays the system time on the screen or
     prints it on a report.  TIME() is related to SECONDS() which returns the
     integer value representing the number of seconds since midnight.
     SECONDS() is generally used in place of TIME() for time calculations.

 Examples

     .  These examples show the results of TIME() used with SUBSTR()
        to extract the hour, minutes, and seconds digits:

        ? TIME()                       // Result: 10:37:17
        ? SUBSTR(TIME(), 1, 2)         // Result: 10
        ? SUBSTR(TIME(), 4, 2)         // Result: 37
        ? SUBSTR(TIME(), 7, 2)         // Result: 17
