If you want to drop the milliseconds from a SysTime, you can always set its
fracSecs to Duration.zero. e.g.
st1.fracSecs = Duration.zero;
if(st1 < st2)
{
...
}
You could also cast the two SysTimes to DateTime and compare the result
(since DateTime doesn't have fractional seconds), but you'd probably want to
use toUTC() to ensure that the SysTimes had the same time zone when
converting, or you'd risk subtle bugs. e.g. something like
if(cast(DateTime)st1.toUTC() < cast(DatetTime)st2.toUTC())
{
...
}
