Re: Calculating Time - Clarification

Booth,

Just found out Robert is at my old place of employment. From what I recall
about the data, the time is a four digit numeric field.

Should be as simple as

timeinminutes = %Diff(%Time(field1*100:*HMS):%Tmie(field2*100:*HMS));

If they really are time fields there isn't a problem. %diff(time2 -
time1: *m) works just fine.

If they are 4 digit numbers that represent time then you may need to do
a string = %char(%hours(%subst(...))) + ":" + %char(%minutes(%subst(...)))

time = %time(string:*USA);

When you finally have all those minutes, you can convert all those
minutes to HH:MM by adding them to a time of 00:00:00.

(There is probably a mistake i=of some kind in there, but that is the
general idea.)

I have two four digit time fields. They are not part of a date nor are

they date dependent.

If necessary, I could cobble up timestamp fields for comparison.

Thanks,
