Jerry,
I think %diff returns type duration by default unless it's assigned to a
numeric data type. If you cast the result as a number, it should work:
IF %int(%Diff(Cur_Time:Last_Time:*Minutes)) > 60

Subject: %Diff question
The infocenter states the following for %Diff:
"The result is rounded down, with any remainder discarded. For example,
61
minutes is equal to 1 hour, and 59 minutes is equal to 0 hours."
I have the following statement in a program where cur_time is 12:38:15
and
last_time is 11:38:15.
C IF %Diff(Cur_Time:Last_Time:*Minutes)
60
Using the interpretation from the infocenter cited above, does that mean
that the %Diff would be 1 *Hour instead of 60 *Minutes?
The reason I ask is that for some reason the code that should execute
never does and therefore there must be something wrong with that
condition
as coded (and I don't know how to or if I can view the value of %Diff).
Could it be that the compiler is rounding up to 1 hour and therefore
minutes is never greater than 60? Or (in other words) is >60 a valid
value
for use with *Minutes?
Comments?
