Hi all. Very odd, I got three replicate answers to the above.
But thanks for advice understood - since the answer is not accurate, it
generates an error. In this case the answer is accurate enough.
Example was too brief:
s: longint;
DTnum: int64;
begin
DTnum := int64(datetimetotimestamp(now));
S := round(DTnum / 10000); //about every 20 seconds
