# Time

The **Time** function returns the current time as a **TDateTime** data type.

The value does not include the current date which is set to zero (0), and can display as 30 Dec 1899.

Please refer to [DateTime (TDateTime)](/statelake/scripting-reference/data-types/datetime-tdatetime).

Declaration: function Time : TDateTime

An example follows.

```pascal
procedure OnMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
begin
 //the current time without the date
  Value := Time;
end;
```

**Time** has a similar function as **TimeOf**.
