SLPtime

---

Purpose

Get a time reference value

Synopsis

function SLPtime :real

Return value

An elapsed time reference in seconds (to two or three decimal places, depending on the accuracy of the system clock.

Example

The following code fragment prints the elapsed time for loading an SLP problem:

declarations
  StartTime: real
end-declarations
StartTime := SLPtime
SLPloadprob(OBJ)
writeln("Time to load problem = ",SLPtime-StartTime)

Further information

SLPtime returns the current value of the system clock, and is not initialized to zero at the start of model execution. It is therefore necessary to calculate all elapsed times by difference.
