"Time" works a bit differently... This is how I use it:<br>
<br>
'q time'<br>
dayofweek = subwrd(result,8)<br>
day = substr(result, 11,2)<br>
month = substr(result, 13,3)<br>
year = substr(result, 16,4)<br>
hour = substr(result,8,2)<br>
<br>
Then use those variables as you normally would.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Did I mess this up? Is this a bug?
Deprecated feature? The destination of this information is a
time series text file via fprintf.gs. I realize I could do
this the “long way” with an iterator and repeated ‘q time’
calls, but I was wondering if there’s a shortcut. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
