Rajesh,
A look into the docs might help you:
In date-format SS means seconds as of the seconds 00-59 in a
minute.
SSSSS means seconds since midnight, thus 0 - 86399
Compiling the statement the longest part is recocnized first.
So:
SS give 06 in your first example.
SSSS gives 20, but twice: 2020
SSSSSS consists of the SSSSS part, followed by an unrecocnized single S:
error
SSSSSSSS consists of SSSSS, followed by SS, followed by an unrecognized
S: error
SSSSSSSSSS is SSSSS SSSSS, so the result is 46439 46439.

What does it mean? If I want to see the 10th part of the second or 100th
part of the second, Is it poosible?
I would appreciate all your hints.
