CIGAL Reference Manual, Chapter 4 (Variables): hour

Hour -- Integer pseudo-variable containing current hour and minute

usage: dest = hour

HOUR is a number variable containing the hour and minute portions of the current time. This variable is read-only. The value is set at the moment it is read. HOUR is set as the hour (using a 24 hour clock) plus the current minute divided by 100.

Examples:

      At 12:10 am,     HOUR =  0.10
      At  9:01 am,     HOUR =  9.01
      At 11:41 pm,     HOUR = 23.41
 At 5:25 pm on October 13th, 1992, the CIGAL command:
      ftype '%5/2f/%2d  %5:2f:%5.2f\n' day year-1900 hour secs
 would print as:
      10/13/92  17:25:00.00
