Par2: Parsing Clarion times 2006-10-18 -- Randy Goodhew You can instantly parse a Clarion Standard Time (as a LONG) into its
time components by using this trick:
BTime TIME,AUTO
BTovr GROUP(BTime)
Hundredths BYTE
Seconds BYTE
Minutes BYTE
Hours BYTE
END !group
TTime LONG
CODE
BTime = TTime ! auto-converts Clarion Time to Btrieve Time
Now you can get each time component from the over cast array, e.g.
BTovr.Hours
BTovr.Minutes
BTovr.Seconds
BTovr.Hundredths
Note: When Clarion auto-converts a Clarion Standard Time (LONG) to a
Btrieve Time, it automatically subtracts 1, the Midnight bias value.
Also, you can get AM/PM directly from the TTime LONG by using these
EQUATEs to do comparisons:
NoTime EQUATE(0)
Midnight EQUATE(1)
Noon EQUATE(4320001)
MaxTime EQUATE(8640000)
EndOfAM EQUATE(Noon - Midnight)
EndOfPM EQUATE(MaxTime)
Example:
AMPM STRING(2)
CODE
IF TTime => Midnight AND TTime =< EndOfAM
AMPM = 'AM'
ELSIF TTime > EndOfAM AND TTime =< EndOfPM
AMPM = 'PM'
ELSE
AMPM = ''
END !if
