Right, but when the number comes from an OT-object it is a total
different story.

C_Time ($TickTock)

$TickTock:= OT GetLong ($lObjHandle;"TimeAsNumber")

Thanks anyway I'll find a solution.

cheers

get an Error but I'm close to solve or workaround the problem.

As soon as I find a nice generic solution for that "Number to Time

It's simple to convert a number to a time:

$time:=Time(Time string($number))

Object Tools was not mentioned in the original post, was it..?
and haw totally different a story is it;
do you get an error or the wrong value?
what if you assign to an intermediate local variable?

Are you serious? You should take:

$time:=?00:00:00?+$number

Of course I'm serious. But my 4D skills are obviously quite rusty and
I didn't take the time to test enough.

Actually, I can't understand why we're having this conversation at
all. Numbers can be assigned directly to times, even with ObjectTools
involved as the original post mentioned:

$o:=OT New
OT PutLong ($o;"test";130)
C_TIME($t)
$t:=OT GetLong ($o;"test")
ALERT(String($t))

So I can't understand where the error came from.
