Par2: Time calculations greater than 24 hours
2000-02-07 -- Sue Pichotta
 
LTimeStart and LTimeEnd are decimals. The trick is, the date is stored in the integer area, to the left of the decimal point, and the time is stored in the fractional area, to the right of the decimal point. Makes calculations across days easy. (Greg Bailey taught me this trick in my Compuserve days, and this paid for me going to DevCon one year - was the basis of a talk I gave. ) LTimeStart = PAT:Sign_In_Date + (PAT:Sign_In_Time / 8640000) LTimeEnd = PAT:Triage_Start_Date + (PAT:Triage_Start_Time / 8640000) LWait = (LTimeEnd - LTimeStart) * 1440 ! change this number to break it into min/sec IF LWait > 59 ! greater than one hour LHrs = LWait / 60 LMin = LWait % 60 LSignInTriageWait = (FORMAT(LHrs,@N3)) & ':' & (FORMAT(LMin,@N02)) ELSE LSignInTriageWait = ' :' & (FORMAT(LWait,@N02)) END (Also, remember when working with time, 0 = nothing, doesn't register. 1 is the lowest valid value, 1/100 of a second past midnight.)
