Use TimGetSeconds() to get the number of seconds past 1 Jan 1904. Use TimSecondsToDateTime to convert to a DateTime structure Use TimeToAscii and DateToAscii to convert to strings in your favorite format. Concatenate.
See Chapter 29, TimeManager, in the PalmOS Reference for more details. -bob mckenzie, palmsource pdx -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 11:16 AM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Assistance with timestamps in database Hi all - I am developing an inventory-like program, and I am having issues storing time stamps. Currently, I use the conduit piece to assign a time-stamp to the record when the handheld syncs using the "C" function: ctime. This returns a value like: "Thu Apr 25 14:12:00 PM 2002". What I need to do is move that function from my conduit code into my palm program to assign a timestamp when I write the record to the database. I have looked over the API reference, and I am not seeing a way to get the current time from the Palm and return it in a format similar to the above. I don't need the format to be identical to the above, but I do need both date and time stored in the same string. Can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks. - Marshall Parker Owner, MazeSoft Publications -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
