SysTimeDelta

Calculates the time difference between a start time and the current time, and updates the start time to the current time. You can time continuous events in a single operation. See the SysTime() function for information on its use.

Time/date functions can only be used with dates between 1980 and 2035. You should check that the date you are using is valid with Cicode similar to the following:

IF StrToDate(Arg1)>0 THEN

	...

ELSE

	...

END

Syntax

The start time returned from the SysTime() function.
