TIME$ Statement

 Action

 Sets the time.

 Syntax


  TIME$= stringexpression$

 Remarks

 The  TIME$ statement changes the system time, which stays changed until you
 change it again or reboot your computer.

 The argument  stringexpression$ must be in one of the following forms.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Form           Description

  hh.mm         Sets the hour and minutes; seconds default to 00.
  hh.mm.ss      Sets the hour, minutes, and seconds.




 A 24-hour clock is used, so 8.00 P.M. would be entered as 20.00.00.

 This statement complements the  TIME$ function, which returns the current
 time.
