Description 
Returns the current time without time zone adjustments in the form of the number of milliseconds since 1/1/0001. UTC time zone adjustments must be applied to return your local time.

Calculates the amount of time it takes to find and sort records as specified in the script.
Set Variable [$START ; Get ( CurrentTimeUTCMilliseconds )]
Go to Layout ["Invoices"]
Perform Find [Restore]

GetAsTime ( ( Get ( CurrentTimeUTCMilliseconds ) + ( Location::TimeAdjustment * 3600000 ) ) / 1000 ) returns 1:43:55.304 PM.
