I sorry, but isn't milliseconds actually hundreds of a second?
1 millisecond is 1/1000 (one thousandth) of a second.However, your message did clue me in to what (I think) Willie is looking for. What was stumping me, was that he kept asking for the time in "hundreds". I see the same thing in your post, in the above sentence you refer to "hundreds" when you meant "hundredths" and that was what was fouling me up. I was trying to think of some unit of time that commonly represented things in 1 hundred minutes at a time, or 1 hundred hours at a time, and that didn't make sense.
What I think Willie is looking for is time represented in 1 hunredths of a hour. In other words, he's looking for a difference of two times that's expressed in whole hours and/or decimal fractions, instead of hours and minutes.
To do this in RPG IV is very easy, since it's just a matter of getting the time in seconds, and dividing it to get hours -- decimal fractions are no problem, since math is normally done in decimals :)
For example, to get the difference between 10:29am and 1:15pm, you'd figure out how many seconds there are between those two times, and then divide it by 3600 to find out the hours with a decimal fraction:

D ts1 s z
D ts2 s z
D hours s 5P 2
D SECSPERHOUR C const(3600)
/free
ts1 = z'2006-12-04-10.29.00';
ts2 = z'2006-12-04-13.15.00';
hours = %diff(ts2:ts1:*seconds) / SECSPERHOUR;
dsply %char(hours);
*inlr = *on;
