RE: Time Math in RPGLE

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use SUBDUR and have your result in seconds.  If => 60, divide by 60 to
achieve minutes, mvr to seconds.  If minutes => 60, divide by 60 to achieve
hours, mvr to minutes.  If hours => 24, divide by 24 to achieve days, mvr to
hours.  Only one SUBDUR needed.

If this is true, then this should be simple to construct your own bif using
a 
subprocedure.  But if you did, I would use subdur's to figure out each part
by 
checking for decimals or remainders or some such thing.

Are we on the right track, at least to what result you are looking for?
