Re: Converting minutes to hours/minutes

Hi,

if you really want the difference between two timestamps in Years, Months,
Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Microseconds,
just calculate the difference with SQL.

The following example shows the difference between 2 Timestamps:
D                 DS                  INZ                                 
D DiffDate                      20S 6                                   
D   DiffYears                    4S 0 overlay(DiffDate)                 
D   DiffMonths                   2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffDays                     2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffHours                    2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffMinutes                  2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffSeconds                  2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffMSeconds                 6S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
                                                                        
D Timestamp1      S               Z   inz(Z'2005-02-01-12.00.00.000000')
D Timestamp2      S               Z   inz(Z'2005-01-31-10.30.00.000000')
 *------------------------------------------------------------------------
C/EXEC SQL                                         
C+    set :DiffDate  = :Timestamp1 - :Timestamp2   
c/END-EXEC                                         
                                                   
C     DiffDate      Dsply                          
C                   Eval      *InLR       = *On
