Typecasting Operations

Operation	Description

number.TYPECAST_	Returns a Boolean value (TRUE or FALSE) that indicates
TIME_AT.GT(t)	whether the time value designated by number is greater than
	the time value argument t.
	The following examples assume that the current time value
	is GMT 2005 May 1 10h 15m 30s and that the day is the 1st
	Sunday of the month of May in 2005. The result of the
	evaluation is given after each example.
	GT(GMT 2004): TRUE
	GT(GMT 2005 Jan): TRUE
	GT(Local 2005 May): TRUE or FALSE, depending on the
	current timezone.
	GT(GMT 8h): TRUE
	GT(GMT 30m): FALSE
	GT(GMT May 10h): FALSE
	GT(GMT May 10h 0m): TRUE
	GT(GMT Sun): FALSE
	GT(GMT May Sun_1): FALSE
	Parameters:
	t - Time

number.TYPECAST_	Extracts the hour from the current system time and returns
TIME_AT.HOURS	the corresponding value as an integer that ranges from 0 to
	23.
