  • If the variables in arguments hour, minute, second or AM/PM have not been declared, the action creates them as globals.
  • For each of hour, minute, second and AM/PM, if the argument is left empty, a variable with the same name as the argument header is created to hold the return value.
  • This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string <ignore> is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to <ignore>, the action is skipped during execution.
