Date calculations

[Wibbly]

I'd like to add a number of hrs, h, to the current date/time to create a new variable I can use with dateformat to generate a new date/time in the future. Can't seem to get the syntax right.

Anyone know what the expression(s) should look like?

Use addHours();

Code: Select all

houradd = 3;
t = addHours(triggertime, houradd);

Or you can just use the 3 directly.

Code: Select all

t = addHours(triggertime, 3);

{t} now is 3 hours from the triggertime. You can use dateformat later to show in the format you want.

Great - there's always a function I've not yet found!
