Description

The SET VAXTIME command enables or disables display of the time string portion of a VAX date. VAX dates are most commonly used with the RMS Replaceable Database Driver (RMS Bridge).

This command allows the optional logical expression <expL> to be evaluated. If a value of .T. is returned, VAXTIME is set ON. If a value of .F. is returned, VAXTIME is set OFF. Note that <expL> should be enclosed in round brackets. By default, VAXTIME is OFF.

Example

dDate = {10/10/2002}
set vaxtime on
? dtov(dDate)
10-OCT-2002 00:00:00.00
set vaxtime off
? dtov(dDate)
10-OCT-2002
