Can anyone let me know how to convert Decimal(6) to hh:mm:ss format.

DB field value 81515 (Decimal Val) to 8:15:15.

Thanks in advance
Riya

Ha! Good one Doug!

Like a fool, I went the long route:

DEFINE FILE CAR
DB_TIME/I6 = 81515;

DATE1/A8 = '20000101';
TIME1/A6 = EDIT(DB_TIME);

ALPHA_DATE_TIME/A20 = DATE1 | TIME1;
DT_FROM_ALPHA/HYYMDS = HINPUT(14, ALPHA_DATE_TIME, 8, 'HYYMDS');

TIME/HHIS = DT_FROM_ALPHA;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
DATE1
TIME1
ALPHA_DATE_TIME
DT_FROM_ALPHA
TIME
BY COUNTRY
END

Thanks Doug,
Just wondering if we already have any date function to do that instead of converting it to Alpha and edit it to hours, mins,sec.

Cheers

Date-Time functions require a date and a time, they don't work with just time.

Excellent That works! I totally forgot that i was just using time not Date-time.

Thank you Francis
