Hour function

The Hour function returns an integer between 0 and 23 that is the hour of the day indicated in the parameter number.

The parameter string is any number expressed as a string that can represent a date and time from January 1, 1980 through December 31, 9999.

' This example shows various uses of the Format function to format values
' using both named and user-defined formats.  For the date separator (/),
' time separator (:), and AM/ PM literal, the actual formatted output
' displayed by your system depends on the locale settings on which the code
' is running.  When times and dates are displayed in the development
' environment, the short time and short date formats of the code locale
' are used.  When displayed by running code, the short time and short date 
' formats of the system locale are used, which may differ from the code
' locale.  For this example, English/United States is assumed.
 
' MyTime and MyDate are displayed in the development environment using
' current system short time and short date settings.
