[Openroad-users] WindowsAPI call to GetLocalTime

[jade clements]

Hello,

 

I'm using a Window's API call, GetLocalTime, to obtain the user's pc time
however I'm getting some weird results.

 

procedure zGetTime ( ) =

declare

    wYear = INTEGER NOT NULL;

    wMonth = INTEGER NOT NULL;

    wDayOfWeek = INTEGER NOT NULL;

    wDay = INTEGER NOT NULL;

    wHour = INTEGER NOT NULL;

    wMinute = INTEGER NOT NULL;

    wSecond = INTEGER NOT NULL;

    wMilliseconds = INTEGER NOT NULL;

 

enddeclare

{

    CALLPROC GetLocalTime(

        byref(wYear), 

        byref(wMonth), 

        byref(wDayOfWeek), 

        byref(wDay), 

        byref(wHour), 

        byref(wMinute), 

        byref(wSecond), 

        byref(wMilliseconds));

 

CurProcedure.TRACE(

    'Year: ' + VARCHAR(wYear) + 

    ' Mth: ' + VARCHAR(wMonth) + 

    ' Day: ' + VARCHAR(wDay) + 

    ' Hr: ' + VARCHAR(wHour) + 

    ' Min: ' + VARCHAR(wMinute) + 

    ' Sec: ' + VARCHAR(wSecond) + 

    ' DOW: ' + VARCHAR(wDayOfWeek)); 

}

 

 

Result:

Year: 264152 Mth: 1376257 Day: 45023240 Hr: 0 Min: 0 Sec: 0 DOW: 917516

 

The Day value changes everytime the procedure is run.

 

The API guide mentions that the GetSystemTime function returns the system
time expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).  I guess the same goes
for GetLocalTime however, the return values just aren't right.

 

 

Can anyone help?

 

 

 

 

 

Regards

Jade Clements
