Multi-Edit CMAC has the ability to call external routines provided by the Windows operating system. Here is an example of calling the GetSystemTime routine.

NOTE: GetSystemTime returns Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It does not take into account what time zone you are in. (i.e. UTC time is 5 hours ahead of Eastern Time; 8 hours ahead of Pacific Time.)

The GetSystemTime function is documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/getsystemtime.asp

Code:

#include Win32.sh   //Must come before #include MsgLog.sh                     //(defines struct Tmsg used by MsgLog.sh) #include MsgLog.sh  //DebugLog is defined here. /* NOTE: Win32.sh already contains the following,    so we don't have to include this ourselves: #define PSystemTime Pointer struct TSystemTime {   Word  wYear;   Word  wMonth;   Word  wDayOfWeek;   Word  wDay;   Word  wHour;   Word  wMinute;   Word  wSecond;   Word  wMilliseconds; } import void GetSystemTime( PSystemTime St )     kernel32 'GetSystemTime'; */ void testtime() {    struct TSystemTime St;    GetSystemTime( &St );    DebugLog(2, "testtime",   "wYear=" + str(St.wYear) +   " wMonth=" + str(St.wMonth) +   " wDayOfWeek=" + str(St.wDayOfWeek) +   " wDay=" + str(St.wDay) +   " wHour=" + str(St.wHour) +   " wMinute=" + str(St.wMinute) +   " wSecond=" + str(St.wSecond) +   " wMilliseconds=" + str(St.wMilliseconds) ); }
