All:
Excel 2016, RBGXE 10.0.2.20530
After numerous controlled tests, at best, TIME values are
Gateway-imported from Excel with zeroes in place of thousandths of a
second.
SET TIME SEQUENCE [ HHMMSS \ HHMMSSSSS \ (winging it now:) HHMMSS.SSS |
HHMMSS.000 | HHMMSS000 ]
SET TIME FORMAT HHMMSS.SSS
... imports: 12:45:30.123 as 12:45:30.000.
Settings > Configuration Settings > Format > Time > Sequence accepts and
appears to save [ HHMMSSSSS | HHMMSS.SSS ] to RBENGINEXE.CFG; but, upon
return to Settings, Sequence displays as 'HHMMSS', suggesting that these
"extended" formats are unsupported.
Our Excel source data is custom-formatted as: 'hh:mm:ss.000', as Excel
does not have a "native" TIME format incorporating thousandths.
Nevertheless, Excel can be switched between the custom and recognized
TIME formats without loss of the thousandths data.
Thoughts? Experience?

Both:
SET TIME SEQUENCE HHMMSSSSS
SET TIME SEQUENCE HHMMSS.SSS
No effect. It is to scratch head, no?
Bruce
My basic test code:
SET TIME SEQUENCE HHMMSS
SET TIME FORMAT HH:MM:SS.SSS
DELETE ROWS FROM TimeImportTest
GATEWAY IMPORT XLS TimeImportTest.xlsx +
APPEND TimeImportTest +
OPTION FIRST_ROW 2 +
|ADD_MAPPING TimeImportID = A +
|ADD_MAPPING TimeImportTestValue = B
BROWSE * FROM TimeImportTest
SET TIME SEQUENCE HHMMSS
SET TIME FORMAT HH:MM:SS
RETURN

I mis-typed! Sequence HHMMSS.SSS or HHMMSS.SSS ?

Thanks, yes.
Tried several TIME FORMATS, producing for all records (examples):
1. HH:MM:SS.SSS > 16:30:45.000
2. HH:MM:SS.sss > 16:30:45.45
3. HH:MM:SS.000 > 16:30:45.000
4. HH:MM:SS.TTT > (No Import)
5. HH:MM:SS.123 > 16:30:45.123
6. HH:MM:SS. > 16:30:45.
Missing something, certainly.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Definitely an off the wall idea, but have you tried setting the
sequence to HH:MM:SS.SSS or HH:MM:SSSSS ?

Progress:
Placing the "BROWSE * FROM TimeImportTest" line immediately after the
import code (before re-setting the Time Format *doh* ) produces the
desired time FORMAT but drops the thousandths values during the import
Example:
Excel: 16:30:45.321
Imports as: 16:30:45.000
Clues?

I need to import Time values
... from Excel format: hh:mm:ss.000
... to R:BASE format: HH:MM:SS.SSS
Best import result I get in R:BASE is: HH:MM:SS
So I'm missing a step. How do I import those thousandsss?
Thanks much,
Bruce
My test code:
SET TIME SEQUENCE HHMMSS
SET TIME FORMAT HH:MM:SS.SSS
DELETE ROWS FROM TimeImportTest
GATEWAY IMPORT XLS TimeImportTest.xlsx +
APPEND TimeImportTest +
OPTION FIRST_ROW 2 +
|ADD_MAPPING TimeImportID = A +
|ADD_MAPPING TimeImportTestValue = B
BROWSE * FROM TimeImportTest
SET TIME SEQUENCE HHMMSS
SET TIME FORMAT HH:MM:SS
