time comparison

[Scott Walker]

@tm is an 8 character field

it is not a total of hours and minutes but rather the current system time

for example 08:15:20

so putting that into a 5 character variable defined as (5, hm) is screwing things up from the start

how about:

st(time, 8)=XX        	 'set start time to whatever you want.... @tm or some set value

in(5,hm)="00:20"    	'The time to increment the starting time by

ft(time, 8) = st + in	'Final time....starting time plus 20 minutes


    Then compare ft to whatever variable defined as (8, time)
 that you want


So  in summary you start with a time, you add a couple of hours and minutes, your result is a time

Hi

What is the best way to do time comparisons in filepro

want to see if a start time a(5,hm) plus an increment of 20 minutes is gt @tm cant seem to get the value correct

tm(5,hm)=@tm;in(5,hm)="00:20";nt(5,hm)=tm+in  ' not getting the correct time in variable nt
