Date.hour()

Date.hour

Returns the 1 or 2 digit hour for the Date-type attribute specified. Valid range 0-23.

If $MyDate is 25 Oct 1415 16:20 then:

$MyNumber = $MyDate.hour; returns 16

The operator may also be used to set the attribute's hour, using a valid figure

$MyDate.hour = 20; sets the hour to 20 (8 PM)

Setting time

If wanting to alter the hours element of a Date's time—or multiple time elements in one action, consider using time().
