DateTime-value with Progress 9.1E

Hi,

is there anybody who has written a DLL function which returns both date and time from com-handle property.

I read Appointment items from Outlook 2003 and try to get both startdate and -time. With progress 9.1E I get only startdate.



 
You don't really need a DLL.

What I do is to save the appointment off as a text file, then read and manipulate the data in the text file.

I use something like this (h_appt is the handle to the appointment):

def var h_appt as com-handle.
def stream s_time.

function f_get_outlook_time returns char (inp_time as char):
define variable inttime as integer no-undo.
inttime = index(inp_time,":",15).
inttime = inttime - 2.
return substring(inp_time,inttime,8).
end function.


function f_outlook_get_date_time returns char (inp_action as char):

define variable strtime as character no-undo.
define variable out_time as character no-undo.
define variable temp_time_file as char.


h_Appt:saveas(temp_time_file,0) no-error.
if search (temp_time_file) <> ? then do:
input stream s_time from value(temp_time_file).
repeat:
import stream s_time unformatted strtime.
if strtime begins inp_action then do:
out_time = f_get_outlook_time (strtime).
leave.
end.
end.
input stream s_time close.
end.
return out_time.
end function.
