The HNAME function extracts a specified component from a date-time value and returns it as digits in alphanumeric format.
HNAME(datetime, 'component', output)
where:
Date-time
Is the date-time value from which a component value is to be extracted.
Alphanumeric
Is the name of the component to be retrieved enclosed in single quotation marks. For a list of valid component names, see Arguments for Use With Date and Time Functions.
for a list of valid components.Alphanumeric, at least A2
The function converts all other components to strings of digits only. The year is always four digits, and the hour assumes the 24-hour system.
Assuming that the current time obtained by the function HGETC in the first parameter is 13:22:11, this example returns the string '13' and assigns it to AHOUR:
AHOUR/A2 = HNAME(HGETC(8,'HYYMDS'),'HOUR', AHOUR);
