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"

// Change l'heure système et affiche la nouvelle heure
TimeSys("17280000")
Info(TimeSys())

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

Modifying the system time Hide the details

TimeSys(<New time>)

<New time>: Character string, Date or DateTime variable

New system time. This time can correspond to:
a character string in HHMMSSCC format (HH corresponds to hours, MM to minutes, SS to seconds and CC to hundredths of a second).
a character string in YYYYMMDDHHmmSSCC format (YYYY corresponds to the year, MM to the month, DD to the day, HH to hours, mm to minutes, SS to seconds and CC to hundredths of a second). In this case, only the time is taken into account.
a Time variable.
a DateTime variable. In this case, only the time is taken into account.

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.
The system time corresponds to the current time defined on the server.
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).
