| Syntax |
clock.timeStamp ()
|
| Params |
None required
|
| Action |
Places into the target window a time stamp with the current date and time and user initials.
|
| Returns |
True if the target window is capable of being time-stamped, false otherwise.
|
| Examples |
clock.timeStamp () » true
The string "Fri, Sep 6, 1991 at 12:03:44 PM by DGS" appears in the target window. |
| Errors |
Using clock.timeStamp with no target window returns false but does not generate an error message.
|
| Notes |
In an outline, the time stamp is placed as a comment line (preceded by a chevron) on the line immediately following the line on which the cursor is positioned in the window. In a table, UserTalk creates a new entry called Stamped Time if one does not yet exist. It then inserts the timestamp as that cell's value. In Frontier 7, a new pref was added, user.prefs.flShortTimeStamp, which when true results in a shorter timestamp of the form "2/1/01; 3:57:05 PM by PBS." The default is false, the traditional longer timestamp.
