Yes!

That was almost the code that was actually taken to production!

I just used a EVAL Duration = *LOVAL instead of the CLEAR, which does the 
same.

The test program, which i looked at, never compiled. It was just the way 
that i wanted it to work then.

TimestampTo minus TimestampFrom gives a time in a time field.

That was what i was trying to achieve and obviously i failed and turned to 
the method Raul Jager describes above.

I have to mark my test programs that don't work...

Shame on me, forgive me for telling nonsense,
