Hi!

Well, I suppose you need the TIME function of NAV:

TIME (Time)

Use this function to retrieve the current time from the operating system.

Time := TIME

Time

Data type: time

The current time.

Comments

You can only use the TIME function to retrieve the time from the operating system. You cannot use it to set the time in the operating system.

Example

This example shows how to use the TIME function.

MESSAGE(Text000, TIME);

Create the following text constant in the C/AL Globals window:



Text Constant

ENU Value


Text000

‘The current system time is: %1’

The message window could show:

The current system time is: 4:15:46 PM
