Sorry for such a simple question. My memory must be failing and I need to update an old DOS 2.6 program and do not have my 2.6 manuals anymore and cannot find anything in the help files for Datetime(). Is there a function or SYS() that returns a value like Datetime() in VFP? ie:12/19/2006 03:11:18 PM

DTOC(DATE())+' '+TIME()
Qualifies as one word - no spaces
 
Thanks Cricket. Already thought of that, but it makes the processing that I want to do a little bit more difficult because it is a string. But, it will have to do.

Have a look at seconds() (or sys(2))
It returns the seconds since midnight.
To have it in hours:
? seconds()/3600
Combining this with date() calculation you can calculate with it.

Rob.
