Create A Script to Calculate Elapsed Time

[habitude 0]

I want to find out why it takes a certain script to finish. Is there a way to calculated the elapsed time from start to finish?

USING FILEMAKER 6

Thanks in advance

Just start the script with the first step being a capture of the time into a time field and date into a date field. You can store them into globals if you wish. Then the last step of your script you would do the same to two other fields.

Finally, you would call a subscript that would write to a log with your values from the global fields (create record). You would then take the difference between the two time fields (compenstating for date change if it goes over midnight) and that would be the time it took for the script to run.
