RE: %mseconds BIF

Charlie,

Can you show us how you are trying to use %mseconds()?  It appears that this 
should be used exactly as %hours(), %minutes(), and %seconds().  These bifs 
return a duration value that can be added to a time (or timestamp) field.

Built in Function Question?

Does anyone have an example of how the %mseconds BIF works.  I checked
the archive and did not find an example nor have I had any success with
a example from the web.  I have tried this and just cannot get away from
one or both of these errors:

*RNF0579 20      1 The parameter for the duration built-in function is
not
                   valid.
*RNF7416 30      1 The types of the right and left hand side do not
match in the EVAL operation.

Thanks;
