Return the system time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
TIME() --> cTimeString
Returns
TIME() returns the system time as a character string in the form
hh:mm:ss. hh is hours in 24-hour format, mm is minutes, and ss is
seconds.
Description
TIME() is a time function that displays the system time on the screen or
prints it on a report. TIME() is related to SECONDS() which returns the
integer value representing the number of seconds since midnight.
SECONDS() is generally used in place of TIME() for time calculations.
Examples

to extract the hour, minutes, and seconds digits:
? TIME() // Result: 10:37:17
? SUBSTR(TIME(), 1, 2) // Result: 10

? SUBSTR(TIME(), 7, 2) // Result: 17
