Record delay in starting location maintenance

In a certain model, the analyst would like to record the time a patient leaves his/her exam room by writing the time to the exam room's (ExamRoom1) label titled, "PatDepartTime." According to the User's manual, the analyst should use a statement, to wit, setlabelnum(object, "PatDepartTime," time());. Then, when the cleaning crew arrives, the analyst would like to subtract the current model time from the PatDepartTime for that location, and then record that value in a global variable (CleaningDelay) for eventual display and analysis. In short, the analyst would like to keep a running record of the time it takes cleaning crews to arrive. What are the correct statements need to execute this requirement?

In this example model I'm using two triggers on the locations: the On Exit and On Start Maintenance triggers. In the On Exit trigger I set the PatDepartTime label on the location to be the current time. In the On Start Maintenance trigger I read this label and add the difference between it and the current time to the CleaningDelay global variable.
