Time display across midnight

[Billy Scherz]

I have a program that displays the current time and date. The time updates until 11:59 pm. I have added the following code but it still does not roll over.

{initialization}
ON TIMER(60) GOSUB UpdateTimeDisplay
TIMER ON
{Program loop}
:UpdateTimeDisplay
IF TIMER < 120 THEN CALL DisplayHeaderDateTime()
RETURN

The date and time do update on a key press.

TIA

PowerBASIC checks the timer "in between" each line of code. So if your program is waiting for input, for example in an INPUT$ or LINE INPUT$ statement, the timer will not fire. Is that what's going on? Without seeing more code it's hard to guess...

Did you add that ON TIMER code to "patch" a problem in your regular time-display routines? If so, post that instead of the ON TIMER code, and we may be able to help you fix the original problem.

Somebody here did find the problem in another routine written here. Problem solved.

Thanks Eric
