I’ve tried to use the “stat(x)” function to call in the local system’s time, but it seems that this isn’t yet implemented.

I'd noticed that also. Did some looking around in Picotron, noticed a clock on the second desktop (pulldown), and did some more digging.

Picotron brings in the system time a bit differently.

There's a built in function for it.

date()

It returns a text string consisting of the year (4 characters), a dash, the month (2 characters), a dash, the day of the month (2 characters), a space, the hour (2 characters), a colon, minutes (2 characters), a colon, and seconds (2 characters).

You can use the tonum and sub functions to isolate the different parts as numerical values....

year=tonum(sub(date(),1,4))
month=tonum(sub(date(),6,7))
day=tonum(sub(date(),9,10))
hour=tonum(sub(date(),12,13))
minute=tonum(sub(date(),15,16))
second=tonum(sub(date(),18,19))

But it's important to note that this is in GMT. So you have to do math to adjust for timezone and potential daylight saving time.

Thank you so much! I’ll try to use your discovery asap!
