Can Web Intelligence display time in 24-hour clock format?

Question

I would appreciate your kind help in answering this question:  How can I change the time format in a formula so as to display time in the 24-hour clock format?
          Presently the CurrentTime() value format looks like this  :  02:26:25 PM GMT-04:00
          Instead, I want it displayed in the 24-hour clock format like this  :  14:26
I'm developing Web Intelligence reports in the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.2 InfoView environment.
I searched several places for an answer to this question, but had no luck.
I searched the BusinessObjects Enterprise InfoView online help document (i.e., Web Intelligence Java Report Panel); I also searched two web sites: the Experts-Exchange website, and the BOB www.forumtopics.com website.
I figured out that there is built in conversion function FormatDate() that can convert a date value into a text value, as for example :  FormatDate( CurrentDate(); "mmmm dd, yyyy" )
However, I have not found an equivalent time function that would convert a time value into a text value of a specified format.

Answer 1

Anil,
     Perfect;  you answered my question!
     The only thing that I had to do differently was to leave off the quote marks from the string "HH:mm:ss" when I entered it into the Custom Date/Time box of the Number Format dialog window.
     While on this subject of the Number Format dialog window, I saw that the Date/Time box already held the following string value:
                FULL_DATE
     So, thinking that I should leave that value alone, I entered the string "HH:mm:ss" in the box labeled "Undefined" next to the Date/Time box, instead.  That didn't work.  It just caused the webi report to display the CurrentTime() value as a long date, like this:
               Friday, July 9, 2010
     So then I replaced the string "FULL_DATE" (without the quotes) with the string "HH:mm:ss" (first with and then without the quotes).  In the first try, the report displayed the time as "14:20:34"; in the second try, the report displayed the time as 14:20:34.
     Questions:
     Can you please tell me:
     1. What is the meaning and usage of the label FULL_DATE?
     2. In my attempts to get the time formatted the way I wanted it to look, I filled the Properties list (of the Number Format dialog window) with junk labels such as those listed below.  How can I delete these labels?
               FULL_DATE; "HH:mm:ss"
               FULL_DATE
               FULL_DATE
               FULL_DATE; "HH:mm:ss"
     3. What is the purpose of the box labeled "Undefined" next to the Date/Time box?
