I requested a time datatype. My reasons:
- easy validation of well and poorly contructed time
- time arithmetic 2:32pm - 7:00am = ??
- storing of time value in table without having to convert to either numeric or datetime format
- ability to make global time format changes across app

Basically it would like the date type now. Imagine if we could only store dates as numbers.

I am open to debate on this subject. Fire away young Luke... I mean Mike.

>In the wish document I saw wish for a date-less time formatt. Can anybody make this seem useful? The only time I think time could be useful is for differences and totals of datatimes, and since differences and totals of datetimes are returned in a numeric type by VFP (right?) that would destroy that reason.
