time format

hi,

Why does the following create an error: "series sday1=(second=09:30:00)" -> "09:30:00 is not defined"
and the following also creates an error: "series sday1=(second="09:30:00")" -> "Numeric operator applied to string data"

thx for the help

What is "second"? A series in your workfile?

Try:

Code: Select all

series sday1=(second=@dateval("09:30:00"))
