TIME$
System variable: TIME$
Length: 11
Description:
The system variable named TIME$ contains the current system time.
This variable is an 11-byte string in the format "HH:MM:SS.DD",
where "HH" represents the hour in 24-hour format,
"MM" represents the minute from 0 to 60,
"SS" represents the second from 0 to 60,
and "DD" represents the hundredths of a second from 0 to 99.
Even though all Comet systems have a clock, TIME$ is not updated until:
- the clock is opened and read, or
- the DSTAT function is used on the clock:
- A$ = DSTAT("CL1")
The name usually configured for the clock is CL1 (although an alternative name can be chosen during system configuration).
