Re: convert time to hundreds

Your answer would give him hundereds of minutes he is looking for hunderds of 
hours.

D TimeDiffMinutes    S                                     5  0
D  HoursInHund         S                                     7  2
/Free
        TimeDiffMinutes =  %DIFF( StartTime: EndTime: *Minutes);
        HoursInHund = TimeDiffMinutes / 60; 
        Cost = HoursInHund * HourlyRate;

Be nice to get the hourly rate per minute.
 
Good Luck
Bill

Actually, I think You'll want to divide by 60.  1 hour 2 minutes would be 
repsented by 1.033  (62 divided by 60). 

So, use the SUBDUR if in Fixed RPG IV, use the %DIFF BIF if in free form.


Maybe something like this...

D TimeDiffMinutes    S                                     5  0
D  HoursInHund         S                                     7  2

/Free
        TimeDiffMinutes =  %DIFF( StartTime: EndTime: *Seconds);
        HoursInHund = TimeDiffMinutes / 60; 

        Cost = HoursInHund * HourlyRate;

/End-Free

Alan,
Yes.
The differents between two time (1:00pm and 2:02pm) would be 1 hour 2 
minutes. What I need or would like would be it to be 102. This would allow 
me to multiply the hourly wage by this figure to get cost.
Willie..

Willie - could you please expand on what your definition of "hundreds" is?
Hours? minutes? seconds? etc.

I have a need to convert the difference between two times into
hundreds. This is so we can calculate the cost for job costing.
I have used the *H, *MN options. Is there one for hundreds? I have
done this in RPGIII. But it requires a lot of calculation. If not,
can I get an example of a better way to do this.
Thanks,
William Moore
