Hi Guni,
I'm not sure I fully understand your requirement. I'm not familiar with the compiler you're using, but I'd assume ACCEPT TIME should give you the current time whenever you needed it.
How do you plan on using the time once you have it? How often do you access it? Are you displaying it on a screen and you want to show the spinning 10th of a sec? Is every sec ok?, Every minute, etc.?
Since the only way I know to get it is via ACCEPT (there may be CALLable routines available) you may run into overhead problems if you plan to use it frequently.
Regard, Jack.
