I'm thinking that the generation of the report is not the duration which you are concerned about. But that the data extraction is. If that is the case, concider this:
-SET &BEG_TIME = HHMMSS(&TOD) ;
...Data ectraction, or pre-report process, or what ever it is that's really taking the time (duration)
-SET &END_TIME = HHMMSS(&TOD) ;
TABLE FILE [filename]
...
FOOTING
"This report started at &BEG_TIME and ended at &END_TIME"
END

If the run time goes over midnight, I would suggest adding the date as well.

If you need to know how long down to a smaller fraction that one second, then try this.

-SET &STRT_TIME = HCNVRT(HGETC(8, 'HYYMDs'), '(HYYMDs)', 23, 'A23') ;

....

-SET &FNSH_TIME = HCNVRT(HGETC(8, 'HYYMDs'), '(HYYMDs)', 23, 'A23') ;

In order to get the duration, say in seconds, you could then use HDIFF to calculate the difference between finish and times provided you use their Date-Time representation.

Leveraging Waz's example:

-SET &STRT_DTTM = HGETC(8, 'HYYMDs');
-SET &STRT_TIME = HCNVRT(&STRT_DTTM, '(HYYMDs)', 23, 'A23') ;

....

-SET &FNSH_DTTM = HGETC(8, 'HYYMDs');
-SET &FNSH_TIME = HCNVRT(&FNSH_DTTM, '(HYYMDs)', 23, 'A23') ;

-SET &DURATION  = HDIFF(&FNSH_DTTM, &STRT_DTTM, 'second', 'D12.2');

Using this technique was a bit of a habit of mine. I would grab the time from the beginning and end of each extract and report phase of the FEX and build a display of these data at the end of the FEX such that it was visible when 'displaying source.'
This was quite helpful in tuning and showing where the time was being used: not in WF code but in the SQL work.
Settled more than one argument over the years.
