PRINT "Local minute = "; MINUTE(TRUE)
PRINT "UTC minute   = "; MINUTE(FALSE)

REM Show current time in HH:MM

Notes

• Values range from 0 to 59.
• Local time depends on the configured time zone. Without configuration, local and UTC values will be identical.
• Works with HOUR and SECOND for finer time resolution.
