Using SELECTION TO JSON on a Time type field will convert the time into milliseconds in the JSON string. To retrieve the time again, use the following code where $millisec is the millisecond:
$timeString:=Time string($millisec/1000) //For string $time:=Time($millisec/1000) //For time |
Example:
Assume the following time is saved in a record:
Using SELECTION TO JSON will convert the time into milliseconds: 43200000
Running the code above will convert the millisecond back to the original time string.
$millisec:=43200000 $timeString:=Time String($millisec/1000) //$timeString = "12:00:00" $time:=Time($millisec/1000) //$time = ?12:00:00? |
