Description
The TIME() function returns the current system time as a character string in the format HH:MM:SS. The TIME() function always returns the time in 24 hour format, and is not affected by the SET HOURS TO [12/24] command. The optional numeric expression <expN> must result in a non-zero value, and when specified, the current time including hundredths of seconds is returned. This is provided for Xbase language compatibility. The TIME() function will always return hundredths of seconds as 00.
Example
? time() 17:47:24 ? time(1) 17:47:31.00
Products
Recital Database Server, Recital Mirage Server, Recital Terminal Developer
