VS_DateTime() Returns a numeric "date/time" value NEW
Description:
VS_DateTime() returns a numeric "date/time" value for a specified date
and time.
Syntax:
n_DateTime = VS_DateTime( d_Date, c_Time )
Pass:
d_Date is a date expression (ex: DATE()) that should contain the
date of the value you want returned from VS_DateTime().
c_Time is a character-time expression (ex: TIME()) that should
contain the time of the value you want returned from VS_DateTime().
Return:
n_DateTime is a numeric value that will represent the date and
time you specified in your call to VS_DateTime().
Notes:
If you are going to store the numeric "date/time" in a database, you
should define the field as a type of NUMERIC with a length of 16 and
decimals of 5.
Example:
n_Start = VS_DateTime( DATE(), TIME() )
wait
n_ElapSecs = VS_ElapSecs( n_Start, VS_DateTime(DATE(),TIME()) )
QOut( "You waited ", n_ElapSecs, " seconds!" )
...
Usage:
VS_DateTime() allows you to retrieve a date/time all in one variable
instead of Clipper's cumbersome DATE() and TIME() functions.
