The entry for "second" shows that the correct abbreviation is "s" and
the value is 1 second. "Second" is defined in terms of itself because it
is a fundamental unit.
Be sure to use the abbreviations exactly as they appear in the UNITS
catalog. For example, the HP-28S recognizes lower-case "s" as sec-
onds,
but not upper-case "S".
Next check the entry for "day."
