RE: convert time to hundreds

Willie, 

Take a look at Scott Klement's post - he has a more elegant way of
doing the same thing using seconds.

hth,

Dave,
Thanks that is what I needed. Josh Diggs here in the office saw my post
and came up with the same answer.
Thanks to everyone for their help and ideals. Sometimes the forest gets
in the way.
Willie...

Do you mean hundredths as in 1.50 is one and one half hours.

If so the 1 hour two minutes would be 1 + 2/60 or 1.033333  not 1.02.

Why not jsut divide the minutes by 60 to get the hundredths?

Unless I muisunderstand.

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 - 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,
