Time
Time ( timeValue ) : Time
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| timeValue | Text, Integer | → | Value to return as a time |
| Function result | Time | ← | Time specified by timeValue |
Description
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 4D standard time formats 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.
Note: If the timeValue expression evaluates to undefined, Time returns an empty time (00:00:00). This is useful when you expect the result of an expression (e.g. an object attribute) to be a time, even if it can be undefined.
Example 1
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))
Example 2
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
