Yeah, if you want to do math as precise as that, you may want to look at 
using epoch time stamps.  Like Mark said in his earlier post, I am not 
aware of a function in filePro that would do it.

What kind of math are you talking about?

Going back to Mark's post, you may want to look at Perl (although I am a 
PHP guy myself) and write a script to handle the task and return the 
value you seek.  filePro has a command known as "user" which can be used 
in combination with your script to get the desired results.

|wget -qO- http://www.timeapi.org/utc/now?\\s.\\N

or

|
|php -r 'echo microtime(TRUE);'

or

|
|python -c 'import time; print time.time()'

or

|
|ruby -e 'puts Time.now.to_f'
