Finding the Elapsed time between two date fields

I have two date fields *MDY with these values. '18:09:04' and '16:26:57'.
All I want to do is find the total elapsed time in hours,minutes and seconds
between them.

I'm  using the SUBDUR like this;

EndTime    SUBDUR    StartTime    Hour:*H
EndTime    SUBDUR    StartTime    Minute:*MN
EndTime    SUBDUR    StartTime    Second:*S

Hour,Minute and second are part of a  6,0 data structure. When I put my
program in debug my 'elapsed' variable contains 010227. I suspect its
because of negatives I'm getting the minutes and seconds the way I am.

What am I missing here? (Should I be doing this differently then SUBDUR?)
