New TIBCO Community Coming Soon
In early summer, TIBCO plans to launch a new community—with a new user experience, enhanced search, and expanded capabilities for member engagement with answers and discussions! In advance of that, the current myibi community will be retired on April 30. We will continue to provide updates here on both the retirement of myibi and the new community launch.

What You Need to Know about Our New Community
We value the wealth of knowledge and engagement shared by community members and hope the new community will continue cultivating networking, knowledge sharing, and discussion.

During the transition period, from April 20th until the new community is launched this summer, myibi users should access the TIBCO WebFOCUS page to engage.

[SOLVED] Statement for Late and Late by 60 Minutes Recognition

I am trying to write an if statement with 2 conditions.... one of them being if it has been longer than 60 minutes and the other condition is that it is "late". Example, I am trying to determine when shipments are late over an hour but I don't want it to count when shipments are early, just when they are late. Here is the equation I had originally buts its counting when shipments are greater than 60 minutes early as well:

IF HDIFF ( SHIPMENT_INDIVIDUAL_MOVE_COSTING.LOAD_DATE_FIELDS.SL_LD_DROP_ACTUAL_DATE , SHIPMENT_INDIVIDUAL_MOVE_COSTING.LOAD_DATE_FIELDS.SL_LD_DROP_APPT_START_DATE , 'Minute' , 'D6' ) GT 60 THEN 1 ELSE 0

Any assistance or thoughts are appreciated.... I feel stuck

Is this IF part of a DEFINE? Also how do you detect Early from Late is that another field?


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Compare using an HADD instead. I don't fully understand your fields and logic, but the pseudo-code would be like this --

If HADD(Start_Date, 'Minutes', 60) < Actual_Date THEN 1 ELSE 0;

That is, if the start date plus 60 minutes is still less than the delivery date, it's late.

I don't have a WF manual available, so that's an estimate of what the HADD function looks like!

Your Function is OK, although I would use the simplified DTDIFF(SL_LD_DROP_ACTUAL_DATE , SL_LD_DROP_APPT_START_DATE , MINUTE) instead to optimize SQL. 60 min early would be -60 so that wouldn't pass your GT 60 condition.


Test: WF 8.2
Prod: WF 8.2
DB: Progress, REST, IBM UniVerse/UniData, SQLServer, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Greenplum, Athena.

This is part of a define. I am currently not detecting early from late in another field. I can physically look and see if something is early or late from the dates shown but I do not have an equation setup (other than the one I wrote above) that detects early vs late.
