Get(CurrentTime)

Category: Get

Syntax: Get ( CurrentTime )

Parameters: none

Description: Returns the current time from the local system clock (on the client machine.)

Examples:

Get (CurrentTime) + 3600

Returns the time one hour from now.

Get (CurrentTime)

returns the current time from the local system clock.

Comments:

Note that the Time data type is stored internally as the number of seconds since midnight. Math can be performed on all Time() functions using multiples of seconds (60 = 1 minute, 3600 = 1 hour).

Remember that the time returned by Get (CurrentTime) is the local time on the system clock of the client machine. In cases where clients are accessing a database from different time zones, this data may be less useful than time extracted from the host machine's system clock with the Get (CurrentHostTimeStamp) function.
