Very easy to use in math or comparison instructions. You can create a symbol of S5Time or Time format if you want to use a MW or MD register for this, or you can create a DB member register of a S5Time or Time Format. Search for data types S5Time and Time in the Step 7 Online Help. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

	Regards, Jacek What is confusing you is the fact that you never see a number but always its digit representation. So you end up thinking that the number is the representation. - Andrej Bauer Any claims against me - based on whatever legal reason - resulting from the use of any code and/or ideas presented on this forum shall be excluded. #StayWithUkraine
