Its easy to print the Date on the footing, but how do I print the current system time.

I need a timestamp on the report since it is run many times a day.

There is also a system variable &TOD that is already populated with time in hh.mm.ss format.

To get a list of system variable execute the code below.

Correct,

&TOD
"Returns the current time.
When you enter FOCUS, this variable is updated to the current system time only when you execute a
MODIFY, SCAN, or FSCAN command.

To obtain the exact time during any process, use the HHMMSS subroutine"

In this case unless it's a very long running process &TOD would almost certainly do.

IF you want in process timestamps then you need HHMMSS.

  DT1/HYYMDs = HGETC(8, 'HYYMDs');

 2010/06/07 17.50.43.426


I am trying to truncate the last character from the above string .. like i need to get the time as 17:50:43.43

Is there a reason to round the time at 100 milliseconds ?

You are limited with Date/Time formats.

Although the manual describes the format HYYMDS{x}, where x is the number of digits, I could not get it to work with a COMPUTE or a DEFINE.

You may have to convert the time with HTIME to get a numeric and round the number.
