[Openroad-users] WindowsAPI call to GetLocalTime

[jade clements]

Hi Fabian

 

The locally declared variables mimics the 'SystemTime' structure.  As you
had suggested, a dummy variable was added but OR2006 crashes causing an
exception error when calling the procedure, but then again, it could be the
dummy variable declaration; declared as integer not null.

 

I'm using the standard API.

Hi Jade,

            As API calls use positional parameters, it looks like it is just
a mix-up of parameter positions.  If the API call accepts a "struct"
parameter, you may need to add another dummy variable in the call to get the
correct parameter position.  Look closely as the "struct" that is accepted
by GetLocalTime.  If you are using an API other than the one that accepts a
"struct", then please let us know the library (DLL) you have used.

 

Regards,

Fabian.

Subject: [Openroad-users] WindowsAPI call to GetLocalTime

 

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
