While testing the Mod_CollapseCats, which I created, I found an error in date display when the Time format is 12 Hours. The 0 from the hour is truncated if the time is between 1 PM and 9.59.59PM. The date and time are stored as string in the database as below
"20010625135959". The last 6 digits referring to Time 135959. This will display as 1:59:59 PM in 12 HR time format.

I have implemented the following solution to correct this error:

I made changes in the inc_functions.asp as below:

Find this line in your inc_functions.asp (about or near line 725)

function ChkTime(fTime)
 
function ChkTime(fTime)
if fTime = "" then
   exit function
end if
if strTimeType = 12 then
	if cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) > 12 then
		ChkTime = ChkTime & " " & _
		(cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) -12) & ":" & _
		Mid(fTime, 11,2) & ":" & _
		Mid(fTime, 13,2) & " " & "PM"
			
	elseif cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) = 12 then



I modified it as below:


if strTimeType = 12 then
	if cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) > 12 then
		if cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) > 21 then
			ChkTime = ChkTime & " " & _
			(cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) -12) & ":" & _
			Mid(fTime, 11,2) & ":" & _
			Mid(fTime, 13,2) & " " & "PM"
		else
			ChkTime = ChkTime & " 0" & _
			(cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) -12) & ":" & _
			Mid(fTime, 11,2) & ":" & _
			Mid(fTime, 13,2) & " " & "PM"
		end if
	elseif cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) = 12 then


It works okay. But I have not tested if it will have any side effects. Chances are less. If anyone has a better idea. I think there might be a method to avoid truncation of zero. Left side zero is being truncated.

This is entirely correct, you do not normally have a preceding 0 in 12 hour time format, just in 24 hour

Check the time display when the time is between 12.00AM and 11.59.59 AM. It displays with a preceding zero.
for example

01:59:59 AM. Check on any snitz forum. Am time display is with a preceding 0 and PM time display without preceding zero.

Ok, now I see what you mean, there is howvere a much quicker solution.

change this line
(cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) -12) & ":" & _

to this
doublenum(cint(Mid(fTime, 9,2)) -12) & ":" & _


doublenum is a function in inc_functions which appends a zero to numbers below 10

That is the solution I was looking for. Mine was crude. Thanks!
