Re: Converting minutes to hours/minutes

Ah, I see your point.  No matter which way you go about that one you are 
getting into a lot of code.  Going from minutes, to hours and minutes, 
days hours and minutes, weeks days hours and minutes, months weeks days 
hours and minutes (that one with the months would be a pain done with 
calculations), years months weeks days hours and minutes, decades 
years.... etc.

Re: Converting minutes to hours/minutes






I just screwed up.  I meant if the hours exceeded a day.  Like 36 hours 
and 5 minutes.

How would one want this formatted?
36:05
or 
1-12:05

Since there's no 'zero' date, this won't format nice using my technique.

Then you start getting a huge select statement.

Select;
When %diff(timestamp2:timestamp1:*years)>0;
  // Include year
When %diff(timestamp2:timestamp1:*months)>0;
...

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?
