I'm trying to do this through scripts and perhaps my syntax is wrong, I<br>
dunno.<br>
<br>
If I do it manually and do a q time I see a time displayed, but when I do it<br>
through scripting it says time is not a valid variable.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a snippet of code directly from a script that pulls the<br>
models time out of it?<br>

Hi, Andrew,<br>
<br>
You'd better draw them by "draw string". The time information can be<br>
obtained by<br>
--------<br>
'q time' ;* returns: Time = 00z01jul2010 to
00z01jul2010 Thu to Thu<br>
timstr=subwrd(result, 3)<br>
--------<br>
<br>
you can then draw the string by<br>
--------<br>
'draw string 'x' 'y' 'timestr<br>
--------<br>
where the x and y are the location in virtual page. Please note there<br>
is a blank between the quotation marks.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
<br>
