SETFDATI()
Sets the date and time of a file
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SETFDATI(<cFile>, [<dFileDate>], [<cFileTime>]) --> lAmended
Arguments
<cFile> Designates for which file the date and/or time is changed.
Drive and path designations are possible, wildcards are not.
<dFileDate> Designates the date for the file. The default is the
system date.
<cFileTime> Designates the time for the file. The default is the
system time.
Returns
SETFDATI() returns .T. when the change is successfully executed.
Description
SETFDATI() permits you to set the clock date and time of a file. Since
the date and time of a file usually change at the same time, these have
been brought together in one function. It is possible to only change
the time or the date, when one parameter is given and the other is not.
The different parameter types tell the function what is to change.
Note
. The time is given in a 24-hour format, that is between
"00:00:00" and "23:59:59".
Examples
. Set the date and time:
SETFDATI("C:\TEXT\TEST.TXT", CTOD("01/01/91"), "01:10:00")
. Set current date and time:
SETFDATI("TEST.TXT") // DATE() + TIME()
. Only change the date:
SETFDATI("TEST.TXT", DATE() -10) // Ten days prior to today
. Only change the time, resetting to start time:
SETFDATI("TEST.TXT", SECTOTIME(Start))
