I am trying to convert TOD to AM PM time. When when I use some -SET commands in my procedure I get an error message. Following are the commands I am issuing but I am getting error message. Where in procedure do I use these SET commands?

 -SET &HOUR = EDIT(&TOD,'99');
-SET &M = IF &HOUR GE 12 THEN ' PM' ELSE ' AM';
-SET &HOUR = IF &HOUR GE 13 THEN &HOUR-12 ELSE IF &HOUR EQ 0 THEN 12 ELSE &HOUR;
-SET &TimeHH     = &HOUR | &M ;
-SET &TimeHHMM   = &HOUR | EDIT(&TOD,'$$$:99') | &M ;
-SET &TimeHHMMSS = &HOUR | EDIT(&TOD,'$$$:99$:99') | &M ;

You'll need to be more specific. How about adding the following line just before that piece of code in order to do some basic debugging:
-SET &ECHO=ALL;


After running it, you'll be able to analyze what Dialog Manager is doing and what values your &variables have along the way.

Plus I want to use this Time in my report fotter.


Just add a reference to your &variable in the FOOTING; you'd probably want to add a spot marker just in case you want to apply specific styling to that value.

TABLE FILE blah
SUM
    blah
FOOTING
"Report Run Time:<+0>&TimeHHMMSS"
..
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=FOOTING, LINE=1, ITEM=2, STYLE=BOLD, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Thanks for helping. I think I just dont know what I am doing. Here is what I was doing and failing.
So how can I use these SET commands in my code?
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
'CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY'
'CAR.COMP.CAR'
HEADING
""
FOOTING
"&TimeHHMMSS"
-SET &HOUR = EDIT(&TOD,'99');
-SET &M = IF &HOUR GE 12 THEN ' PM' ELSE ' AM';
-SET &HOUR = IF &HOUR GE 13 THEN &HOUR-12 ELSE IF &HOUR EQ 0 THEN 12 ELSE &HOUR;
-SET &TimeHH = &HOUR | &M ;
-SET &TimeHHMM = &HOUR | EDIT(&TOD,'$$$:99') | &M ;
-SET &TimeHHMMSS = &HOUR | EDIT(&TOD,'$$$:99$:99') | &M ;
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON

Hi Arif,

You should put the -SET commands before the TABLE command.

Arif,

Try the code that we use
  
-SET &TESTTIME = &TOD ;
-* USE THE NEXT LINE AT THE END OF YOUR PROCEDURE FOR TIME STAMPING
-SET &HOURX = EDIT(&TESTTIME,'99') ;
-SET &HOUR = IF &HOURX GT 12 THEN &HOURX - 12 ELSE &HOURX ;
-SET &HOUR = IF &HOUR  LT '10' THEN &HOUR ELSE &HOUR ;
-SET &MIN  = EDIT(&TESTTIME,'$$$99') ;
-SET &RPTTIME = IF &HOURX LT '12' THEN &HOUR ||':'|| &MIN | ' AM'
-                                 ELSE &HOUR ||':'|| &MIN | ' PM' ;
-SET &TIMECHK = EDIT(&RPTTIME,'$9') ;
-SET &RPTTIME = IF &TIMECHK EQ ':' THEN '0' || &RPTTIME ELSE &RPTTIME ;
-SET &RPT_START_TIME = HHMMSS(&TOD);

FOOTING
"&TimeHHMMSS"   <-- This variable is "unknown" at this point
-SET &HOUR = EDIT(&TOD,'99');
-SET &M = IF &HOUR GE 12 THEN ' PM' ELSE ' AM';
-SET &HOUR = IF &HOUR GE 13 THEN &HOUR-12 ELSE IF &HOUR EQ 0 THEN 12 ELSE &HOUR;
-SET &TimeHH = &HOUR | &M ;
-SET &TimeHHMM = &HOUR | EDIT(&TOD,'$$$:99') | &M ;
-SET &TimeHHMMSS = &HOUR | EDIT(&TOD,'$$$:99$:99') | &M ;


Arif, you are attempting to use &TimeHHMMSS in your FOOTING even before Dialog Manager has had a chance to define and assign a value to it.

Please do as Jimmy says and move all of those -SET statement to a place *before* the TABLE FILE statement begins.

Where? Confused
What values do each of your variables show?

Please show us *your* debugging work!

Again, Thank you for looking into it. I have moved the SET statements before the table file but its still giving me data parsing error message.

 
-SET &TESTTIME = &TOD ;
-* USE THE NEXT LINE AT THE END OF YOUR PROCEDURE FOR TIME STAMPING
-SET &HOURX = EDIT(&TESTTIME,'99') ;
-SET &HOUR = IF &HOURX GT 12 THEN &HOURX - 12 ELSE &HOURX ;
-SET &HOUR = IF &HOUR  LT '10' THEN &HOUR ELSE &HOUR ;
-SET &MIN  = EDIT(&TESTTIME,'$$$99') ;
-SET &RPTTIME = IF &HOURX LT '12' THEN &HOUR ||':'|| &MIN | ' AM'
-                                 ELSE &HOUR ||':'|| &MIN | ' PM' ;
-SET &TIMECHK = EDIT(&RPTTIME,'$9') ;
-SET &RPTTIME = IF &TIMECHK EQ ':' THEN '0' || &RPTTIME ELSE &RPTTIME ;
-SET &RPT_START_TIME = HHMMSS(&TOD);

Hi Arif,

Here's a little code snippet that you can use that works. See if you can use it instead.

  
-SET &NOW = HHMMSS(&NOW);
-SET &HH = EDIT(&NOW,'99');
-SET &HR = IF &HH GT 12 THEN &HH - 12 ELSE IF &HH EQ 0 THEN 12 ELSE &HH + 0;
-SET &M = IF &HH LT 12 THEN 'am' ELSE 'pm';
-SET &RUNTIME = &HR | EDIT(&NOW,'$$$:99 ') | &M;


The Variable of the am pm format is &RUNTIME.

Best Regards,

Jimmy Pang

Arif,

I know you solved your issue but you might want to look at this. You can do the timestamp in one line.

-* get the current data and time and format into a string of formatted as "Prepared on 01/29/2007 10:33:12AM"
-* save the current datetime into variable &NOW
-SET &NOW = 'Prepared on ' | HCNVRT(HGETC(8,'HMDYYm'),'(HMDYYSA)',30,'A30');

Then just put the &NOW in your footer. I got the HCNVRT code from a generous person on this forum.
