Elapsed processing time since the last call of count_seconds.
The operator count_seconds helps to measure time. Each operator call returns a time value. The difference of the values of two successive calls provides the time interval in seconds. The mode of measuring time can be set with set_system('clock_mode',...).
The time measurement is not exact and depends on the load of the computer.

count_seconds(Start) /* program segment to be measured */ count_seconds(End) Seconds := End - Start
The operator count_seconds always returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE).
count_seconds is reentrant and processed without parallelization.
