Time()

Type: REGULAR FUNCTION

Purpose: Calculate the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 1/1/70 and the time specified by the parameter.

This time convention is compatible with the Microsoft^® C time functions. If no parameters are specified, use the current system time and date. You can also substitute NIL for any parameter in the second and third form to use the current system values for that parameter.

Now = Time() if no parameters

Then = Time(DateStr, TimeStr) if 2 parameters

Then = Time(Mon, Day, Yr, Hr, Min, Sec) if 6 parameters
