SameDateTime

SameDateTime compares two TDateTime values A and B, to test whether they represent the same year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond.

SameDateTime returns True if the two specified values represent the same date and time, and returns False if they are not the same.

It is possible to create two TDateTime values that differ numerically when viewed as floating point types, but which represent the same year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond.

SameDateTime allows applications to determine when two TDateTime values are the same even when their numeric values differ.

Declaration: function SameDateTime(const A, B: TDateTime): Boolean;

A simple example showing a passed test and a failed test follows.

procedure ScriptEvent (var Value : variant);
var
  DateTime1, DateTime2 : TDateTime;
  Counter : integer;
begin
  //These will be the same
  DateTime1 := Now;
  DateTime2 :=  Now;
  If SameDateTime(DateTime1, DateTime2) then
    LogInfo('They are the same date and time!')
  else
    LogInfo('They are NOT the same date and time!');
 
  Counter := 1;
  while Counter < 500 do
  begin
    Counter := Counter + 1;
  end;
  //These will not be the same
  DateTime2 :=  Now;
  If SameDateTime(DateTime1, DateTime2) then
    LogInfo('They are the same date and time!')
  else
    LogInfo('They are NOT the same date and time!');
 
end;
