Hi Arlene, > I want to retrieve the hour and minutes between two dates & times, two > timestamps so to speak. This looks to be one of those questions which will get 50 replies, and cause someone to say "look and see if there are already answers before posting another one!" So, for the record, as of the time of this writing, nobody has replied. Of course, by the time this message makes it to the list, there will probably be 10 other people who have already answered your question, so please be gentle with me :) > > How do I define a timestamp in the D specs??? > > I have looked in the books and probably missed it, has anyone got any hints > for me? > > Arlene Soderlund > AS/400 Project Leader/Sr. Programmer Analyst Timestamps are data type "Z". As far as I know, there isn't a direct way to get "hours and minutes" between two timestamps, but you can get minutes and do a simple DIV/MVR to conver it to hours and minutes. Here's a quick example: D timestamp1 S Z D timestamp2 S Z D RawMinutes S 10I 0 D Hours S 10I 0 D Minutes S 10I 0 c timestamp2 subdur timestamp1 RawMinutes:*MN c RawMinutes div 60 Hours c mvr Minutes HTH +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
