I need to get a time in milli seconds in Lotus Script. But until now I could not figure out how. I just can get the time in seconds.

Does anyone have an idea?

Use

Timer()

Timer() returns the number of seconds elapsed since midnight as a Single value.

Usage

LotusScript rounds the number of seconds to the nearest hundredth.

Although it doesn’t give you a millisecond accuracy, a Win32API call could give you that. But my experience is that the resultion is no better than 10mS anyway, so you wouldn’t be much better off.

Subject: This is the closest you can get without the WinAPI:

For a Time/Date item in a document, you can extract the centiseconds part of the value:E = Evaluate({@Text(DateTimeField; “*”)}, doc)

cs% = Clng(“&H” & Right$(E(0), 8)) Mod 100
