RE: Difference between two time values in SQL -- MIDRANGE-L

Not legacy fields, actual SQL time data types. They would have to be converted to timestamp data types to use the timestampdiff function.

The difference between two time values is a duration.That duration can be days, hours, minutes, seconds. Say Seconds(Timestamp - Timestamp)

Not sure what you mean by convert. You mean AS/400 legacy fields? You can do a duration on a Time stamp or on a Date Field or a timestamp. All documented in the SQL reference manual.

When I see the answer it will probably be obvious but I have spent
over two hours trying to create a query to list records including the
difference between two time values. I searched the archives and did a
Google search but didn't see the answer. Lots of information on
differences between dates though.

How does one go about calculating the difference between two time
values in an SQL statement? Do they have to be converted to
timestamps first? I want the result to be a time value as well.
