How do I show my time stamp as human time like 2:00 PM rather than the default &TOD which displays 14:00:00.

Thanks

raff, is the time stamp a column from a table or is it a Dialogue Manager variable?

By the way, in my humble opinion, 14:00:00 is very humanly readable.

its the dialogue manager with the query and canvas pane. I want to display 2:00 PM on active report and html and xlsx outputs.

IMO, I never went to a movie at fourteen hundred or met a friend at 14:00:00...usually simply " two o'clock PM" Smiler

If you need the current time:

-SET &CURR_TIME = FPRINT(HGETC(8, 'HYYMDS'), 'HHIA', 'A20');


To manipulate time with date-time functions you need a date-time value...

IMO, I never sent a friend a WebFOCUS report Smiler

-SET &CURR_DATE = &YYMD;
-SET &CURR_TIME = EDIT(HHMMSS('A8'),'99$99$99');

-SET &CURR_HHIA = HCNVRT( HINPUT(14, '&CURR_DATE.EVAL&CURR_TIME.EVAL' , 8, 'HYYMDS') , '(HHIA)', 8, 'A8');

Though you get a leading zero...

If InfoAssist is a requirement, then you need to have a field not an &variable to drag and drop into the heading. That's why I suggested using the DEFINE with DT_CURRENT_TIME.

You can also try this.
-* File runtime.fex
-SET &RUNTM=EDIT(HHMMSS('A8'),'99999');
-SET &RUNHR=LJUST(2,EDIT(&RUNTM,'99'),'A2');
-SET &RUNMI=EDIT(&RUNTM,'$$$99');
-SET &M=IF &RUNHR GE 12 THEN 'pm' ELSE 'am';
-SET &PHR=IF &RUNHR GT 12 THEN &RUNHR-12 ELSE FPRINT(&RUNHR,'I2S','A2');
-SET &P_RUNTM=&PHR || ':' | &RUNMI | ' ' | &M;
-SET &P_RUNTM=LJUST(8,&P_RUNTM,'A8');


I use this with a -include in almost all reports.
[code]
-INCLUDE RUNTIME
-SET &CURRDTTM=&DATEMtrDYY || (' at ' | &P_RUNTM);
-TYPE &CURRDTTM
[code]

If it's for InfoAssist - a GUI tool, please indicate that, as I cannot provide support for GUI tools.
