Go to SolutionHow to compare two time values in asl script
Hi,
Any body can guide how two values of time can be compared using ASL script I have used this code but somehow its not working
if(time() > time(1496061600)){
print(time()." Is Greater than ".time(1496061600));}
I have tried this comparison in different ways by even converting it to numeric value but it is not working.

Thank you for contacting the Dell EMC Community Network.
That is a great question and I'm researching your issue and will followup with you on Thursday.

Superbly insufficient setup, background and purpose in relationship to the issue submitted as a question.

Nukhanpk,
Can you try the following:
START { } do {
if (time() > time(1496061345)) {
print(time()." Is Greater than ".time(1496061345));
}
stop();
}
just create local/rules/test_time.asl and add the above, then run with sm_adatper test_time.asl
Please let me know if this helps.
Dear Sean,
I have executed the script and following is the error output for your reference:
[June 30, 2017 12:15:28 PM GMT+05:00 +344ms] t@978790176 adapter
ASL-E-ERROR_RULE_INIT-While initializing rule set
ASL-ERROR_FILE_PARSE-While parsing rules in file 'test_time.asl'
ASL-ERROR_NO_START-Start rule is missing

Dear Lisa,
Smarts version 9.2.4 is being used here and I am using this logic actually to restrict email adapter to send emails based of specific time value (say only between 9:00 am to 06:00 pm). I used other logics in the ASL script by using different classes and their values and it working fine but some how time values and their comparison is not working.
following is the ASL script which i am using for test with sm_adapter.
START { } do {
//comparing June 30, 2017 12:15:28 PM GMT+05:00 +344ms with 09:00 am
if (time() > time(1498813200)) {
print(time()." Is Greater than ".time(1498813200));
}
stop();
}
after executing I receive following error:
[June 30, 2017 12:15:28 PM GMT+05:00 +344ms] t@978790176 adapter
ASL-E-ERROR_RULE_INIT-While initializing rule set
ASL-ERROR_FILE_PARSE-While parsing rules in file 'test_time.asl'
ASL-ERROR_NO_START-Start rule is missing
[June 30, 2017 12:15:28 PM GMT+05:00 +360ms] t@978790176 adapter

Hii sean,
Yes, It had resolved our issue.
Dear Prashanth,
Thanks for your solution its working perfectly, can you help me to make it more better as I want to compare value of current time in numeric with the value of some specific time value of same day. I mean its actually a mail adapter which I am customizing to stop email sending if time is more than 18:00 hours of the same day when mail is being sent.
In a nutshell is there any way to convert say [ July 18, 2017 4:00:00 AM GMT+05:00] to numeric in order to compare it with the numeric value current time stamp (numeric(time())).

START {
.. eol
}
do {
p = time();
r = numeric(p);
q = time(1496061600);
//print(p);
//print(q);
//print("the numeric time for Today is ".r);
if (r > q){
print(r."value is greater than".q);
}
}
output:
1499161207value is greater than1496061600
