Re: Finding the Elapsed time between two date fields

It'd work like this Andy:

Subdur to get Total seconds.

Total seconds/60 equals total minutes
MVR to Total seconds.

Total minutes/60 equals total Hours
MVR to Total Minutes

Total Hours/24 equals total Days
MVR to Total Hours

Subject: 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?)

Andy
