Re: Calculating Time

// Determine the number of seconds required to do a task:
// 1. Get the starting timestamp
// 2. Do the task
// 3. Calculate the difference between the current
// timestamp and the starting timestamp

start_time = %timestamp();
process();
time_taken = %DIFF (%timestamp() : start_time : *SECONDS);

Greetings from sunny Ohio.


I don't have my usual reference books with me on this trip so I need some assistance.

I have to find the difference between two time values in free format. %Diff doesn't work. What does?

Thanks,
