GOAL:
Can Progress Display the current time to the milliseconds?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
Progress' time function only counts to the second.
Example:
DISPLAY STRING(TIME,"HH:MM:SS").
If absolute time precision is not required, for example the format of output filenames, elapsed time can be appended with the ETIME function.
Example:
/*--------------------------------------------------------------*/
DEF VAR dd AS DATE NO-UNDO.
DEF VAR mylog AS CHAR NO-UNDO.
ETIME(YES).
dd = TODAY.
mylog = string(YEAR(dd)) +
string(MONTH(dd),"99") +
string(DAY(dd),"99") +
" " +
string(TIME,"hh:mm:ss") +
" " +
string(ETIME) +
".log.txt".
/* tidy up the string */
mylog = REPLACE(mylog, ":", "").
OUTPUT TO value(mylog) APPEND.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
/*--------------------------------------------------------------*/
Alternatively upgrade to OpenEdge 10.0A or above and use the MTIME function.
