Declaration

define external integer function UTIL_GetMilliSecondTimer

This function returns the system timer value in millisecond units. The basis for the timer value are system dependent and, because the results may not represent any absolute time, this function should only be used comparatively to evaluate time intervals.

Example:

  include "omutil.xin"
  process
    local integer LapsedTime
    set LapsedTime to UTIL_GetMilliSecondTimer
    output "LapsedTime = %d(LapsedTime) milliseconds.%n"
