TIME$
TIME$ (format string)
When TIME$ is executed without an argument, it returns the configured value defined in the HP Eloquence configuration file "eloqd.cfg".
In addition, you can now specify an arbitrary format. The format depends on the operating system where HP Eloquence is running. On HP-UX see date(1) and strftime(3) for more information on the time format.
Example:
TIME$("%H:%M:%S") --> returns 11:35:45
DATE$
