Hello, 1. Should this function return a Timevalue or a SCDateTime? sc.Input[1].SetTimeAsSCDateTime(0); If 00:01 (12:01 am)is entered in the input of the study, the function is returning 60 which is the correct timevalue. Shouldn't it return something like 0.0006944444444444446? 2. Coulnt find how to convert a Timevalue to SCDateTime Thanks |

You can use these functions to get the time data stored in your input: ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Input Array: sc.Input[].GetTime() ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Input Array: sc.Input[].GetDateTime() You can read about TimeValue here: Working with the SCDateTime Variables and Values: Time Values You could, for example, set TimeValue of SCDateTime variable using this function: Working with the SCDateTime Variables and Values: SetTime() |

SC Support... Refering to the original post: is this function working as described in the documentation? Is the return value correct (original post)? Thanks |

Not SC Support, but... The return type for sc.Input[].SetTimeAsSCDateTime() is SCInputRef, not TimeValue or SCDateTime. (ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Input Array: sc.Input[].SetTimeAsSCDateTime()) Which actual function is returning 60? I have studies using the sc.Input[].SetTimeAsSCDateTime() function, these were compiled using v2107 headers and they work as expected. When input is 00:01:00 - sc.Input[].GetTime() returns 60 (int TimeValue) & sc.Input[].GetDateTime() returns 0.000694 (SCDateTime) |

907968 Thanks a lot for your answers, Solved. I was using sc.Input[].GetTime() to get the input value from sc.Input[].SetTimeAsSCDateTime(). Now using sc.Input[].GetDateTime() I thought sc.Input[].GetDateTime() was for sc.Input[].SetDateTime() only. Thanks again |
