The rsyntax SET TIME point to the docs for the time data type. I have submitted the boo-boo to RDCC.
Her is the correct syntax: SET TIME FOR HH:MM AP SET TIME SEQ HHMM No quotes are needed as the interpreter is smart enough to know that the TIME FOR setting may need a space. Now you can enter time as follows: 11:45PM will be displayed as 11:45 PM 1145PM will be displayed as 11:45 PM 1145 will be displayed as 11:45 AM 11PM will be displayed as 11:00 PM 11AM will be displayed as 11:00 AM 11 will be displayed as 11:00 AM 1356 will be displayed as 1:56 PM you could also do: SET TIME FOR HHMM AP SET TIME SEQ HHMM or SET TIME FOR HHMMAP SET TIME SEQ HHMM Hope this helps. --Dennis McGrath -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nicky Avery Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2002 3:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Time format/Sequence challenge?

It's necessary to specify the SEQ and FOR separately and, I believe, to use AP, put the setting param in quotes RBHelp: "If the format contains spaces or commas, enclose the format in quotes." e.g: SET TIME SEQ 'HHMM AP' but using the above means that time has also to be entered in quotes with a following AM or PM for correct results - a 24-hour clock (military time) is much simpler. SET TIME FOR 'HH:MM AP' David, Would the quotes make your code work in the desired way?
