You can put a #TIME anywhere in the .tmp and it will put the time up to that point into the code. I'm not familiar with JOS(nc_runtime) so I'm not sure this info I'm giving you is what you're looking for. #time does use the .smf questions for calculation though. If you add some time to it (rotation time) at the @tpindx section of your .tmp file it sounds like you'll get the realistic time you're looking for (in your code file though not JOS(nc_runtime)).

I went into the SMF editor and changing some of the settings do not change time on the code. In the SC Code Generation Guide in the Template word reference section there is #TIME I am wondering how you can either add all the #TLTIME or add the #TIME to the JOS(nc_runtime) to get a more accurate reflection on actual runtimes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
