Localization

The output format depends on the locale set in the report. If no locale is specified for the report, the server locale will be used instead.

Important: The client locale has no influence on the result.

Examples:

CTime(20,23,22)         // 8:23:22 p.m.
CTime(-0.4)             // 2:24 p.m.
CTime("12:44:12 p.m.")  // 12:44:12 p.m.
CTime(dt)               // extracts the time of the datetime.
