Is there a way to get date and time using ABL/4GL
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems

Yes. It is possible to use milliseconds with DATETIME data type. This example shows how to extract milliseconds from a DATETIME. The message will display 90000 milliseconds which is 15 minutes.
DEFINE VARIABLE startTime AS DATETIME INIT "01-01-2002 07:00:00" NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE endTime AS DATETIME INIT "01-01-2002 07:15:00" NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE i AS INT64 NO-UNDO.
DISP startTime endTime.
i = INTERVAL( endTime, startTime,"milliseconds").
MESSAGE i VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.
