SETTIME()
Sets the system clock
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
SETTIME(<cTime>, [<lMode>]) --> lSet
Arguments
<cTime> Designates a character string that contains the time that
is to become the system time.
<lMode> Designates whether the time should also be set in the
CMOS-RAM of an AT. The default is do not write to CMOS-RAM.
Returns
The function returns .T. when the time is set successfully.
Description
When you use this function to convert the time into the system time from
within your CA-Clipper application, all files acquire this time with
each write procedure.
Note
. Please note that you can only implement the optional <lMode>
parameter in AT-compatible machines. The correct operation of
SETTIME() cannot be guaranteed on machines that use a hardware clock.
The default value for <lMode> is .F..
Examples
. Set the system time in each case; but the hardware clock only
on an AT:
cNewTime := "10:20:00"
IF ISAT()
SETTIME(cNewTime, .T.)
ELSE
SETTIME(cNewTime)
ENDIF
. Or, more compactly:
SETTIME(cNewTime, ISAT())
