if you add second parameter of 2 to TTOC() you get just the string value representing the time portion of a datetime value. This value in turn is affected by the SET HOURS setting,

nSetHours = SET("HOURS")    && remember original setting
tTest = {^2022.08.01 14:32:25}
SET HOURS TO 24
? TTOC(m.tTest,2)
SET HOURS TO 12
? TTOC(m.tTest,2)
SET HOURS TO (m.nSetHours)   && restore original setting
