[gradsusr] Time Stamp

[Andrew Revering]

I appreciate the help with doing this... but I can't get it to work.
I'm trying to do this through scripts and perhaps my syntax is wrong, I
dunno.

If I do it manually and do a q time I see a time displayed, but when I do it
through scripting it says time is not a valid variable.

Does anyone have a snippet of code directly from a script that pulls the
models time out of it?

Hi, Andrew,

You'd better draw them by "draw string". The time information can be
obtained by
--------
'q time'      ;*  returns:  Time = 00z01jul2010 to 00z01jul2010 Thu to Thu
timstr=subwrd(result, 3)
--------

you can then draw the string by
--------
'draw string 'x' 'y' 'timestr
--------
where the x and y are the location in virtual page. Please note there
is a blank between the quotation marks.

Good luck!
