Current date and time as number of seconds
Note: Many $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent of $Sir_DateNS is CurrentTimeSeconds.
The $Sir_DateNS function has no arguments and returns the number of seconds since 1 January, 1900.
Syntax
%num = $Sir_DateNS
Syntax terms
| %num | Set to the number of seconds from 1 Jan 1900 12:00 AM to the current date and time.
|
|---|
Usage notes
- $Sir_DateNS has no error conditions.
- Values returned by $Sir_DateNS will exceed the range that can be represented in a 4-byte integer, so you should probably avoid storing the value in a
BINARYorFLOAT4field. - To obtain the current date and time in a readable form, use $Sir_Date.
- To convert the number of seconds to a readable form, use $Sir_NS2Date.
Example
The following fragment will print the date and time 1 minute from the current time:
Print $Sir_NS2Date($Sir_DateNS + 60, 'MM/DD/YY HH:MI:SS')
