UTC
« on: August 19, 2015, 05:47:22 PM »
Hi All,

I'm creating a web service and want to date\time stamp records so I can pull all records since last request. As this request will be coming from different time zones I wanted to stamp with UTC. Anyone know an easy way to calculate the UTC in Clarion?

Cheers,

Kevin

Actually NetTalk has code for doing this - at least in 8.60 or later.

the structure is

utctime            Group(NET_SYSTEMTIME).

the code is

  OS_GetSystemTime(utctime)


NET_SYSTEMTIME is a group structure declared in NetAll.Inc

If all you are doing is timestamping with a view to comparing records later then there is also a method;

net.GetElapsedTimeUTC  (<pBaseDate>)

the basedate defaults to Jan 1 1970. The result is a REAL (not a LONG) and is the number of milliseconds since the base date, UTC.

Cheers
Bruce
