LOCAL oDt

oDt := CreateObject("Chilkat.CkDateTime")

//  Set to the current system date/time.
oDt:SetFromCurrentSystemTime()
? "Now: " + oDt:GetAsTimestamp(1)

//  Subtract 10 minutes, making the date 10 minutes in the past.
oDt:AddSeconds(-600)
? "10 minutes ago: " + oDt:GetAsTimestamp(1)

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

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

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

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

//  Is the date/time older than 1 day?
b := oDt: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
//  	Older than 10 seconds: True
//  	Older than 5 minutes: True
//  	Older than 15 minutes: False
//  	Older than 1 hour: False
//  	Older than 1 day: False
