TimeSys (Function)

In french: HeureSys

Returns or modifies the system time (current time defined for the current computer).

Note: This function is identical to Now.

Example

Res = TimeSys()        // Res = "15332105"
Res = TimeToString(TimeSys())   // Res = "15:33:21:05"
HeureAct = Left(TimeSys(), 4)    // HeureAct = "1533"

DateAujourdhui is Date = DateSys()
SAI_SaisieDate = DateToDayInAlpha(DateAujourdhui) + " " + DateAujourdhui.Day + ...
	" " + DateToMonthInAlpha(DateAujourdhui) + " à " + ...
	TimeToString(TimeSys(), "HH:MM:SS")
// Le champ SAI_SaisieDate contient par exemple : Lundi 20 Août à 14:44:17

Syntax

Getting the system time Hide the details

<Result> = TimeSys()

<Result>: Character string or Time variable

System time in HHMMSSCC format (HH corresponds to hours, MM to minutes, SS to seconds and CC to hundredths of a second).

Remarks

Warning To change the system time, you must have administrator rights on the current workstation.
To get the time in a format other than HHMMSSCC, the string must be formatted using DateToString, Right, Left, etc.
The HHMMSSCC format was chosen because it allows you to compare two times with hundredths-of-a-second accuracy.
In this version, TimeSys can only be used to return the system time (time on the current computer or on the computer on which the Internet browser is running).
In simulation mode, the time used is the time on the PC where the simulation is run. At runtime, the time of the mobile device is used.
