RE: CL Time Aritmetic Code

If it were up to me, I'd write an RPGIV program to do the time arithmetic
and call it from the CL.  ADDDUR will do it transparently.  Most of the code
in the program (under 20 lines even with serious error checking) would be
converting numeric time variables to time variables and vice versa.

Subject: CL Time Aritmetic Code


Does anyone have any CL time arithmetic code they'd be willing to share.  On
they way into applications, I look at a specific data area to see if a
backup of that application is in progress -- if it is, I display a screen
telling the user that app is not available.  Ideally, I want to be able to
store the "current" backup start time and the "last" backup duration and use
time arithmetic to display an estimate of when the "current" backup will be
complete.

Thanks in advance,
