Description
INQUIRE TIMER returns the attributes of a named BTS timer.
To inquire upon a timer associated with the current activity, omit the ACTIVITYID option. To inquire upon a timer associated with another activity, specify the ACTIVITYID option. (The activity identifier specified on the ACTIVITYID option may, for example, have been returned on a GETNEXT ACTIVITY command during a browse operation.)
Options
- ABSTIME(data-area)
- returns, in packed decimal format, the time at which the timer will
expire, expressed in milliseconds since 00:00 on 1 January 1900 (rounded to
the nearest hundredth of a second).
You can use FORMATTIME to change the data into other familiar formats.
- ACTIVITYID(data-value)
- specifies the identifier (1–52 characters) of the activity which
the timer is associated with.
If this option is omitted, the current activity is assumed.
