Time


Time ( timeValue ) -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
timeValue	String, Longint	Value to return as a time
Function result	Time	Time specified by timeValue

The Time command returns a time expression equivalent to the time specified in the timeValue parameter.

The timeValue parameter can contain either:

a string containing a time expressed in one of the standard time formats of 4D corresponding to the language of your system (for more information, refer to the description of the String command).
a longint that represents the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00.

The following example displays an alert box with the message “1:00 P.M. = 13 hours 0 minute”:

ALERT("1:00 P.M. = "+String(Time("13:00:00");Hour Min))

You can express any numerical value as a time:

 vTime:=Time(10000)

  //vTime is 02:46:40

 vTime2:=Time((60*60)+(20*60)+5200)

  //vTime2 is 02:46:40
