I looked up the SUBDUR op code at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QBKAQE01/4.4.87
See also duration codes at:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/QBKAQE01/4.3.8

Will this work for you?  And these are V3R2 sites.

Subject:        Re: Time Math in RPGLE


On my system (V3R2) it tells me that I need a duration entry in factor
two when I try to key this in.  This implies to me that (at least at V3R2)
you can't subtract two timestamps to get a time.

Also, what would it do if the timestamps were over a day apart?  Wouldnt
that cause a "receiver value is too small to hold result"?
