TIME$ ===== Function -------- **TIME$** returns an eight character string with the time. It is used for reading and setting the software independent calendar clock. Syntax ------ A$ = TIME$ or TIME$ = A$ Examples -------- :: 10 DIM AS(0,8) 20 PRINT TIME$ 30 A$ = "10:5" 40 TIME$ = A$ Remarks ------- The eight character string is in the format hh:mm:ss. Leading zeros may be omitted, but, for example, if the minutes are zero, then one zero has to be entered. To enter the time directly type the following: :: TIME$="10:27" Seconds must not be entered as this will give a Syntax error. Seconds are set to "00" when setting the clock.
