Par2: Converting Windows 8-byte date-time
2003-06-26 -- Ole-Morton Heien
 
Hi. I beleive the DateTime format your refering to is the standard microsoft(?) date time field. The easyest way is to use a String(8) to hold the Windows Date time. Remember, a string is just series of bytes and can therfore bee treated as a very 'long' LONG. I beleive an 8 byted number is the same as WORD. Anyway, Allso add a group and name it anything you like (i.e. ClarionDateTime). This group should have TWO LONG fields. One for Date and One for Time. The trick is to set the OVER atribute to the WindowDateTime string. DATA WindowDateTime String(8) ClarionDateTime Group,over(WindowDateTime) Date Long Time Long End!Group Now you can refere to the date and time the way your are used to If Date > Today()....... If Time > Clock().......
