JSI Tip 0863. Time Math.

In tip 721, we scripted a general purpose Date Math routine.

JSITimeM.bat is a general purpose Time Math routine which is called with the following syntax:

JSItimeM \[HH1 MM1 +/- HH2 MM2\]

When called without parameters, JSITimeM returns the following environment variables (your system must be configured for a 24 hour clock):

AHH	is the current hour.
AMM	is the current minute.
NHH	is a numeric variable that contains the current hour.
NMM	is a numeric variable that contains the current minute.
NSEC	is a numeric variable which contains the number of seconds since mid-night.

When called with parameters, JSITimeM returns:

AHH	is the resultant hour. The range is 00 - 23.
AMM	is the resultant minute. The range is 00 - 59.
NHH	is a numeric variable that contains the resultant hour.
NMM	is a numeric variable that contains the resultant minute.
NSEC	is a numeric variable which contains the resultant number of seconds. A value of 999999 indicates an error in the parameters. If it is greater than 86399, the time returned is the next day. If negative, time2 was later than time1 during a subtraction.

Examples:

- To return the current time:

call JSITimeM

- To cause a batch job to sleep until 05:00 PM, unless it is already later:

     call JSITimeM
     call JSITimeM 17 00 - %AHH% %AMM%
     if %NSEC% EQU 999999 goto error
     if %NSEC% LSS 0 goto continue
     sleep %NSEC%
     :continue

JSITimeM.bat contains:
