There is still a small(er) chance that the date changes
between the
resolution of the Date() function and the resolution of
the Time()
function. (AFAIK)
Your doubt is well-founded. There is no chance whatever.
Haven't found a really "clean" solution to this
problem. Anyone ?
See above. The tedious part is if you wish to separate
the date and
time while guaranteeing conssistency. Something like:
parse value DATE(U) TIME() with <left as exercise for
the student.>
If DATE("T") is available, it takes care of the
problem. E.g.:
<source>
t0 = date("T")
tdate = date(<choose your format>,t0,"T")
ttime = time(<choose your format>,t0,"T")
</source>
