I cannot find anything significant here, on the WFF, regarding a remedy for my current time calculation requirement. I can do this one, albeit laboriously, in DM. However, I would like something, as least, as elegant (?) as DATEADD while keeping it within WebFOCUS - no Javascripting please. The immediate need is to convert the timestamp from GMT to EST (5 hour change so the DATEADD won't work). The replies to this post may be of benefit to some other “time clock” functions which I have in mind as well as this immediate case.

Thanks, in advance for any solutions.

Have you looked at the HADD function used for incrementing a Date-time value? I believe 'hour' is one of the components that can be incremented, so that should do the trick.

Thanks a Gig Darin... I forgot all about that one... HADD did the trick, as follows:

ASSIGNED_EST/HYYMDS = HADD(ASSIGNED_GMT,'hh',-5, 8, ASSIGNED_EST);
