Calculating the elapsed time

This is used to calculate the time between two moments in the program execution.
It is typically used to calculate the execution time of a program.

$$Begin Example…


DECL/CHAR,100,start_time,end_time,elapsed_time_form1, elapsed_time_form2

$$Reading Start time


start_time = ASSIGN/SDATETIME()

$$ stop the execution for 2 seconds


DMESW/DELAY,2

$$Reading End Time


end_time = ASSIGN/SDATETIME()

$$Elapsed Time without indication of day


elapsed_time_form1 = ASSIGN/SELAPSETIME(start_time, end_time, LONG)

$$ Elapsed Time with Indication of day


elapsed_time_form2 = ASSIGN/SELAPSETIME(start_time, end_time, SHORT)
