Date/Time comparison in LotusScript

[b***@averittexpress.com]

Since this seems to be LotusScript day.

I'm working on a project and I need to do a Do While loop until a
particular date/time equals a second date time. How do I set up a
comparison that in formula would be :

@If(BeginTime = EndingTime;Stop;Keep Going)

Every time I try a comparison in LS, I'm getting a type mismatch: and
that's saving not running the script. I can't make claims to being a
scripter, and time makes it worse.

Brian,

Here is an agent that I had set up to send notification to people if the
document was not assigned to a user. This agent runs through a specified
view and processes all unprocessed documents. I had a due date on the
form. Hope this helps. I know date and time can be a tough one.

Thanks,
Jean

Brian,

One other thing I should have mentioned, the comparison made below "86400"
is the number of seconds in a 24 hour day. Adjust the time to whatever you
want to compare to or calculate the time and enter that value in seconds.
Thanks,
Jean

Jean,

Thank you very much. I've not had a chance to look at this yet, but I
really, really appreciate it.

Straight from the Help files....you're going to need to declare the items
as NotesDateTime items to do the comparison. The simplest way is to
extract them from an already declared NotesItem.

Dim item As NotesItem
Dim dateTime As NotesDateTime
Set item = doc.GetFirstItem( "DateComposed" )
Set dateTime = item.DateTimeValue


Hope this helps,
Don
