<pre>Description:
Time and Time$ both return a String, while the former should return a Variant
(Date) which would be consistent with VBA.
Time should be documented as a function - not as a statement - as changing time
on Unix platforms requires admin privilege. Time statement does not function
under Windows and should therefore be marked as unsupported.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Example Basic code:
Private Sub _Time_
CompatibilityMode(True)
Print TypeName(Time()), VarType(Time), TypeName(Time$),
VarType(Time$())
Time = "18:20:15" ' does nothing
CompatibilityMode(False)
End Sub
2. Run and observe the routine results
Actual Results:
Time$ returns a locale-dependant String output
Time returns a locale-dependant String output
Expected Results:
Time$ to return a locale-dependant String output
Time to return a Variant of Type 7 (Date/Time)
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
