| Equals (used as a comparison) | |||
<Time1> = <Time2> |
Boolean | Returns a value of true if <Time1> is the same as <Time2>, including both the Date and the Time portions |
|
| Equals (used as an assignment) | |||
<Time1> = <Time2> |
DateTime | Assigns the value of <Time2> to <Time1> |
|
| Not Equal To | |||
<Time1> <> <Time2> |
Boolean | Returns a value of true if <Time1> does not equal <Time2> |
|
| Less than | |||
<Time1> < <Time2> |
Boolean | Returns a value of true if <Time1> is less than <Time2> |
|
| Greater than | |||
<Time1> > <Time2> |
Boolean | Returns a value of true if <Time1> is greater than <Time2> |
|
| Less than or Equal to | |||
<Time1> <= <Time2> |
Boolean | Returns a value of true if <Time1> is less than or equal to <Time2> |
|
| Greater than or Equal to | |||
<Time1> >= <Time2> |
Boolean | Returns a value of true if <Time1> is greater than or equal to <Time2> |
|
| In (Range) | |||
attributeReference in [ |(rangeExpression)|] |
Boolean | Returns a value of true if attributeReference is in the range of Time values from..to, and where opening and closing parentheses ( )indicate exclusion of that limit and square brackets [ ] indicate inclusion of that limit. |
|
| In (List) | |||
attributeReference in {listExpression} |
Boolean | Returns a value of true if attributeReference is in the comma-delimited list of literal values, defined enumeration values, or - if in use - enumeration labels. |
|
| Hour | |||
<Time>.hour |
Integer | Returns the hour portion of <Time>. The returned value is based on a 24-hour clock. |
|
| Minute | |||
<Time>.min |
Integer | Returns the minute portion of <Time> as an Integer between 0 and 59 |
|
| Second | |||
<Time>.sec |
Integer | Returns the seconds portion of <Time> as an Integer between 0 and 59 |
|
| Add hours | |||
<Time>.addHours (<Integer>) |
Date | Adds the number of hours in <Integer> to the number of hours in the Time portion of <Time> |
|
| Add minutes | |||
<Time>.addMinutes (<Integer>) |

|
| Add seconds | |||

|
| Hours between | |||
<Time1>.hoursBetween (<Time2>) |
Integer | Returns the Integer number of hours between <Time1> and <Time2>. If the two times differ by less than a full hour, the value is zero. This function returns a positive number if <Time2> is later than <Time1>. |
|
| Minutes between | |||
<Time1>.minsBetween (<Time2>) |
Integer | Returns the Integer number of minutes between <Time1> and <Time2>. This function returns a positive number if <Time2> is later than <Time1>. |
|
| Seconds between | |||
<Time1>.secsBetween (<Time2>) |

|
| To String | |||
<Time>.toString |
String | Converts <Time> to a String with date and time information |
|
| To DateTime | |||
<Time>.toDateTime |
