System property when set to TRUE (1) forces a TIME field with value 0 to be converted to a Standard Time of 1.  Normally such fields are converted to a Standard Time of 0.  You can read this property to get the current conversion rules.

Example:
<code>
PROGRAM

ATime TIME
LongTime LONG
CODE
LongTime = ATime
MESSAGE(LongTime) ! will display 0

SYSTEM{PROP:TimeZeroIsLongOne} = TRUE

MESSAGE(LongTime) ! will now display 1
</code>

**The above code is what appears in the ClarionHelp.chm (as of CW11.1)
Below is a fix.**
<code>
PROGRAM
  MAP  ! required for MESSAGE which appears in builtins.clw
  END 

ATime    TIME
LongTime LONG

 CODE
 LongTime = ATime 
 MESSAGE(LongTime,'#1') ! will display 0

 SYSTEM{PROP:TimeZeroIsLongOne} = TRUE

 MESSAGE(LongTime,'#2') ! will still display 0

 LongTime = ATime
 MESSAGE(LongTime,'#3') ! will now display 1
</code>
