Don,

What are the formats of those three fields within the synonym? I guess that the TA field is A8.

You problem is likely to be the fact that WF treats a variable consisting of numbers as numeric irrespective of whether it is bounded by quotes. See recent postings about this.

One final thing, please update the signature section of your profile (Go/Personal Zone/Profile) and add the release, OS and platform to the signature textbox that you find there. This will then show on each posting so that we know your set-up and can modify responses accordingly. Some people have added the output formats they use as well. Thanks

Tony, Don,

I think he said TA is an HHIS field.
So you probably need to convert begTA to an HHIS field. Check out HINPUT function. Not sure if HINPUT is available on all versions tho...
Don, HHIS is time in hh:mm:ss format.

Anatess

Oooops, well spotted Anatess, I missed that one. Roll Eyes

Don,

You should be able to convert your time field and compare on that level -

DEFINE FILE CAR
  TIME_H/HHIS WITH COUNTRY = HGETC(8,'HHIS');
  TIME_A/A8 WITH COUNTRY   = HCNVRT(TIME_H, '(HHIS)', 8, 'A8');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT TIME_H
BY COUNTRY
WHERE TIME_A GT '10:25:00'
END
