The function deducts absolute time TimeB
from absolute time TimeA. A result is value of Relative
time type.
Declaration
REAL %SubTimesMono(
TIME in TimeA,
TIME in TimeB,
)
Parameters
TimeA
Absolute time.
TimeB
Absolute time.
Description
The function %SubTimesMono deducts one
absolute time from another one. The result will be influenced by
the fact if the time offset was or was not in this interval. For
example, in Slovakia the
difference between 4:00 and 1:00 a.m. can be two hours (advance to
summer time), three hours or four hours (advance to winter time).
Example
; =================================================================
; Slovakia (country for this example)
; Time zone is UTC+1.

; A3:00:00 is changed to B2:00:00 on Sunday (25th October, 2009).
