loDt = createobject("CkDateTime")

// Set to the current system date/time.
loDt.SetFromCurrentSystemTime()
? "Now: " + loDt.GetAsTimestamp(.T.)

// Subtract 10 minutes, making the date 10 minutes in the past.
loDt.AddSeconds(-600)
? "10 minutes ago: " + loDt.GetAsTimestamp(.T.)

// Is the date/time older than 10 seconds?
b = loDt.OlderThan(10,"seconds")
? "Older than 10 seconds: " + str(b)

// Is the date/time older than 5 minutes?
b = loDt.OlderThan(5,"minutes")
? "Older than 5 minutes: " + str(b)

// Is the date/time older than 15 minutes?
b = loDt.OlderThan(15,"minutes")
? "Older than 15 minutes: " + str(b)

// Is the date/time older than 1 hour?
b = loDt.OlderThan(1,"hour")
? "Older than 1 hour: " + str(b)

// Is the date/time older than 1 day?
b = loDt.OlderThan(1,"day")
? "Older than 1 day: " + str(b)

// Output:

// 	Now: 2017-05-05T23:33:06-0500
// 	10 minutes ago: 2017-05-05T23:23:06-0500
