Hi,
 
I have a requirement of this type. we have In date,In time,Out date,out time. we need to capture all these details and compare them and need to display the time diff.
 
eg:  In Date    5/15/2008 12:00:00 AM
       Out date  5/15/2008 12:00:00 AM
       In Time    5/15/2008 8:00:00 AM
       Out Time  5/15/2008 5:00:00 PM
My formulae should work such that
I need to get Date from In Date and append it with In Time
eg: In DateTime   2008/15/05 08:00
      Out DateTime 2008/15/05 17:00
Here i need to compare these to fields and get the output.
I need to get Time in in the In DateTime,Out DateTime and compare and display the Total time.
 
Can any one of you help me out in solving this.
 
Thank you,
Akki

I'm confused as in your example the in Time has a date associated with it, but if you need to concatenate the 2 fields it is not hard.
 
something like:
datetimevar Start := cdate({inDate}) + ctime({inTime});
 
should work, same for the end time and then you can use a function to determine the difference.
 
Hope this helps.

Thank you.I got the solution. instead of converting date and time seperately i have the formulae suggested by and i have used Datediff function.
