Time of execution of steps

[Michael_W.]

Correction, that statement ISN'T valid until run-time

Sorry about that!

Yeah, but that isn't explaining the the error showing in the first or 2nd pictures, or what I put in messages 8 or 9 - any ideas on those?

Thanks,

I found a way that is close enough - on the step whos time I want to record, I put a pre expression of Locals.Start_Time = seconds(), then I put a post expression of Locals.Step_Execution_Time = seconds() - Locals.Start_Time - when stepping through the code, my calculated time looks to be consistently within 40 microseconds of both the TotalTime and ModuleTime.

What is the difference between TotalTime and ModuleTime?

Hi Bill,

Module time refers to how long it took to execute the code module called by the step.  Total time refers to the total time the step took to complete, including pre and post expressions, the module and other operations the step executes

Ok - thanks!
