clock not displaying correctly 5

[fanlinux90]

this is the prg code

[indent]SET DELETE ON
[indent]SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
[indent]SET EXACT ON
[indent]SET CENTURY ON


[indent]CLEAR ALL
[indent]CLOSE ALL
[indent]CLEAR

[indent]DO WHILE .T.

[indent]@ 05,01 To 31,150 doub 
[indent]SET CLOCK ON TO 07,77
[indent]@ 07,05 say "DATE : "+DMY(DATE())
[indent]@ 07,35 say "PRGS ALL IN ONE" FONT "arial",10
[indent]@ 07,70 say "TIME : "
[indent]@ 09,02 TO 09,99
[indent]@ 10,35 Prompt "

but when I run the prg, the time is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen and not next to the word time

What change should be made so that the clock is displayed next to the word time?

Do you understand syntax descriptions?

SET CLOCK ON | OFF | STATUS

-or-

SET CLOCK TO [nRow, nColumn]

The pipe symbol | between the options ON | OFF | STATUS means one of these clauses can be used. Also the -or- means an explicit or, you can't use ON and TO in the same SET CLOCK call.

So in long form, the possible versions of SET CLOCK are:

SET CLOCK ON
SET CLOCK OFF 
SET CLOCK STATUS
SET CLOCK TO nRow, nColumn
SET CLOCK TO

Yes, the latter using the TO clause without coordinates also is valid. It puts the clock at its standard position, if you read the help topic. not important for your case, but just so you understand the square brackets around the [nRow, nColunm] in the condensed syntax description mean those are optional.

Now pick what you need from that.
