Time

Time can be represented as, HH:mm:ss.SSS or HHmmss.SSS i.e it can be passed with or without separators (: U+003A).

It uses a 24-hour clock system. Midnight is a special case and it may be referred to as "00:00" or "24:00". However, ISO 8601-1: 2019 no longer permits "24:00".

The Time Structure

Value	Description	Example
HH	24-hour clock hour, (00-23)	01
mm	Minutes, Decimal number (00-59)	46
ss	Seconds, Decimal number (00-59)	55
SSS	Milliseconds, three-digit decimal number (000-999)	500

Time with separators:	Time without Separators:
HH:mm:ss.SSS = 05:24:34.555	HHmmss.SSS = 052434.555
HH:mm:ss = 05:24:34	HHmmss = 052434
HH:mm = 05:24	HHmm = 0524
HH = 05	HH = 05

The code snippet demonstrates how to define and use time In the Internet Object Document.

# Set transactionTime with derived type as time
transactionTime: time
---
~ 05:24:34:555
~ 05:24:34      # parsed as 05:24:34:000
~ 05:24       # parsed as 05:24:00:000
~ 05         # parsed as 05:00:00:000

MemberDef

The Time is derived from the String type, hence it shares the same MemberDef as the String. However, Time enforces additional constraints with the respective time format and the same is applicable to the Time MemberDef.
