Timed script fails to run

Hi All,

I have a backup script that I have set to run if the elapsed time since the last backup is equal to greater than 24 hours but it will not run:

If[user_Data::Time_Elapsed_since_Backup ≥ "23:59:59"]

  Perform Script ["Backup"]

End If

 

Elapsed_Time_Since_Backup is a calculation field set to Time

 

What can I not see?

There are several critical things missing from your description - most importantly, what is the actual content of the Time_Elapsed_since_Backup field when the script checks it? Does the script check it at all? Is it a field that the script can see from the current context? Lots of potential failure points.

 

However, one thing jumps out immediately: "23:59:59" is text, not time. To compare a Time field to a time constant, you should use:

Timefield ≥ Time ( 23 ; 59 ; 59 )

Hi Comment,

Sorry about the missing parts, this script is part of a larger one that performs two functions based on an On Timer script and as it was only this part that is failing I only included the failure. Yes the script does check but I think your comparator is my problem, I was checking on text not time. I have changed and will know in the next five minutes if it now works correctly.

Thank You

That did indeed resolve it
