----
The ''HMS→'' command converts a value representing hours / minutes / seconds to hours with a decimal fraction. The input is expressed by a real number in the format **HH.MMSS**, where:

  * **HH** are the hours;
  * **MM** are the minutes;
  * **SS** are the seconds.

It is not mandatory that **MM** or **SS** are less than 60. In fact, they can be up to 99: in any case ''HMS→'' will compute the correct result. An useful consequence derives from this property: the sequence ''HMS→'' ''[[manual:chapter6:system:cmd_tohms|→HMS]]'' can be used to normalize a time value so that both **MM** and **SS** are less than 60.

----
''HMS→'' is not fully equivalent to its **userRPL** counterpart.

In particular:

  * in **userRPL** the time value can express fractions of seconds too; in **newRPL** it is not allowed.
