Bug Reports

Author Thread: []AI - APL session time

[]AI - APL session time
Posted: Tuesday, May 25, 2004 1:40 PM (EST)
The 2nd value returned by []AI is the number of seconds.milliseconds that the Interpreter has been running.  However, this number rolls over 49.7 days (approximately) back to 0.  And yes, I do have installations where the program runs for months at a time.  Currently, I only have v4 deployed right now which does exhibit this rollover.  I have not tried v5.  And it would take me a month and a half to test it...  <g>  Has this changed?

No. Nothing related to []AI has changed in 5.0

If you're having trouble timing something across this boundary, why not just use {residue} on the difference to adjust for the (apparent) 2*32 millisecond rollover?

There are a number of simple ways around this.  My main issue was I had used []AI extensively in a shareware application, and never had a problem until people starting running it for months at a time without rebooting or restarting the program.  Updating a thousand plus independant users is, well, not simple.   I suspect it is fairly unique to run APL for months at a time.  Just be aware of the system limitation.
