Here is one that I use. You can copy the define to multiple programs or make a define function out of it.

DEFINE FILE WBF_BOTLOG
BOT_START/D14=EDIT(START_STAMP);
BOT_END/D14=EDIT(END_STAMP);
BASE_DATE/YYMD=19700101;
HBASE_DATE/HYYMDS=HDTTM(BASE_DATE,8,'HYYMDS');
BOTLOG_START/HYYMDS=
      HADD(HBASE_DATE,'MILLISECONDS',BOT_START,8,'HYYMDS');
BOTLOG_END/HYYMDS=
      HADD(HBASE_DATE,'MILLISECONDS',BOT_END,8,'HYYMDS');
PRT_START/HYYMDS=HADD(BOTLOG_START,'HOUR',-6,8,'HYYMDS');
PRT_YYMD/YYMD=HDATE(PRT_START,'YYMD');
PRT_END/HYYMDS=HADD(BOTLOG_END,'HOUR',-6,8,'HYYMDS');
DIFFMIN/D12.4=(HDIFF(PRT_END,PRT_START,'SECOND','D12.4'))/60;
BEGHR/I2=HPART(PRT_START,'HOUR','I2');
END
TABLE FILE WBF_BOTLOG
SUM
     CNT.SCHED_ID AS 'Row Count'

Mine is almost the same as yours but I added the PRT dates to adjust from GMT.

Don:

Were you able to get your calculations to come out correctly?

I am getting the same results when I use the formulas as well:

BOTLOG_START
1970/01/01 00:00:00

BOTLOG_END
1970/01/01 00:00:00

When I use Ginny's suggestion, I get:
PRT_START
1969/12/31 18:00:00

PRT_END
1969/12/31 18:00:00

Thanks,
Tim J

Tim,

I don't know why my defines aren't working for you. I wrote this code when we were using 5.3.3 and we are now up to 7.6.2 and the code still works. BTW, WBF_BOTLOG is a synonym that we created for BOTLOG just in case that makes a difference.

Can you post your code so that I can compare it to mine?

Also, please update your profile signature to show your product suite, releases, and platforms so that we can better help you.

Here is the code I am using:

DEFINE FILE MKT_BOTLOG
BOT_START/D14=EDIT(START_STAMP);
BOT_END/D14=EDIT(END_STAMP);
BASE_DATE/YYMD=19700101;
HBASE_DATE/HYYMDIA=HDTTM(BASE_DATE,8,'HYYMDIA');
BOTLOG_START/HYYMDS=
      HADD(HBASE_DATE,'MILLISECONDS',BOT_START,8,'HYYMDS');
BOTLOG_END/HYYMDS=
      HADD(HBASE_DATE,'MILLISECONDS',BOT_END,8,'HYYMDS');
PRT_START/HYYMDS=HADD(BOTLOG_START,'HOUR',-6,8,'HYYMDS');
PRT_YYMD/YYMD=HDATE(PRT_START,'YYMD');
PRT_END/HYYMDS=HADD(BOTLOG_END,'HOUR',-6,8,'HYYMDS');
END

TABLE FILE MKT_BOTLOG
PRINT 
BOTLOG_START
BOTLOG_END
PRT_START
PRT_END
MKT_BOTLOG.START_STAMP
MKT_BOTLOG.END_STAMP
MKT_BOTLOG.ERROR
BY MKT_BOTLOG.JOB_DESC AS 'Job Description'



Here are some START_STAMP Values, so I know they are different:

START_STAMP
00000000000000000001202704381936
00000000000000000001200804241360
00000000000000000001200804181330
00000000000000000001201883101332

We have WF 7.6.4

Thanks,

I took your code and ran it in my environment after changing only the master name and the dates looked fine. Here is an example:

BOTLOG_START BOTLOG_END PRT_START PRT_END START_STAMP END_STAMP ERROR 
2008/01/17 12:20:01 2008/01/17 12:20:18 2008/01/17 06:20:01 2008/01/17 06:20:18 00000000000000000001200572401265 00000000000000000001200572418661 1

DOn,Your botlog is a focus repository?
You don't say, actually.
I don't know that it matters,
Ginny,if yours is focus you shouldn't have to make your own master, you should be able to use the botlog.mas. or am i missing something?
Don, Have a look at this article on reading botlog.

Mine is DB2 and I know I don't have to make a master. They were already in place when I got here so I just use them.

As for Don and Kevin's problem, Kevin's code works fine in my environment. But if Kev's repository is FOCUS, that might make a difference. Would have to see the master he is using. Kevin, can you post, please?

Your master looks just like mine. Have you tried refreshing your synonym? I am at a loss to explain the behaviour you are getting.

Kevin, try redefining those V fields rather than editing the master
Do a straight dump
PRINT E01 NEWJOBDESC E03 NEWUSER
E05 E06 E07 E08
and then look at the records in a text file
and see if they contain what you expect them to contain...

Susannah:

I used your code in the article you submitted and I was able to get the "real dates" I needed! For some reason, I can't get the WebFOCUS date functions to get me anything except "1970/01/01 00:00:00".

I will use your logic to convert my START_STAMP and END_STAMP values in my BOTSCHED file.

Thank you to all who responded and contributed to this topic! These Date and Time topics can create some interesting threads.

The problem was with the define.

I had to change this...

BOTLOG_START/HYYMDS=
HADD(HBASE_DATE,'MILLISECONDS',BOT_START,8,'HYYMDS');
BOTLOG_END/HYYMDS=
HADD(HBASE_DATE,'MILLISECONDS',BOT_END,8,'HYYMDS');

to this...

BOTLOG_START/HYYMDS=
HADD(HBASE_DATE,'MILLISECOND',BOT_START,8,'HYYMDS');
BOTLOG_END/HYYMDS=
HADD(HBASE_DATE,'MILLISECOND',BOT_END,8,'HYYMDS');

I changed MILLISECONDS to MILLISECOND.
