Re: Converting minutes to hours/minutes

245 / 60 = 4 with Remainder of 5 mins.  Thus 4 hours and 5 minutes.  That 
exceeds an hour doesn't it?

Re: Converting minutes to hours/minutes






I like my solution better.  What happens if the duration exceeds an hour? 
But, in some cases, your solution would work.
     D mytime          s               t   timfmt(*hms)
     D DspChar         s              5a
      /free
       clear mytime;
       mytime += %minutes(175);
       DspChar = %subst(%char(mytime):1:5);
       dsply mytime;
       dsply DspChar;

Perhaps I'm not understanding the situation. Wouldn't converting it to 
hours/minutes be as simple as dividing it by 60 and taking the remainder?
