Is there a way to convert a time field that is an A4V field to a 12hr with AM and PM field?

Thanks Trudy

an A4V field

As you are working with alpha values (not a time field), you will need to manipulate it yourself.

Simple conversion and equally simple maths to follow before converting back to an alpha suffixed with "am" or "pm" as necessary.

To my knowledge, there is no time format (think HHIS etc.) that has am or pm suffixes.

Here's an example.

My assumption is that the alphanumeric column (A4V) contains two digits that represent hours and two digits that represent minutes. To convert this alphanumeric column to a date/time column, a date must be inserted - I use 9999/12/31 as the dummy date. 'HHIA' represents a date/time column (the first H), formatted to show hours (the second H), minutes (I) and AM/PM (A).

DEFINE FILE CAR
MY_TIME/A4V = 
     IF COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' THEN '1010' 
ELSE IF COUNTRY EQ 'FRANCE' THEN '2123' 
ELSE IF COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY' THEN '0559' 
ELSE IF COUNTRY EQ 'JAPAN' THEN '2359' 
ELSE '1129';

TEMP_DATETIMEX/A14 = '99991231' | MY_TIME;

MY_TIME_F1/HHIA = HINPUT(14, TEMP_DATETIMEX, 8, 'HHIA');

MY_TIME_F2/HHIa = HINPUT(14, TEMP_DATETIMEX, 8, 'HHIa');

END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
MY_TIME
TEMP_DATETIMEX
MY_TIME_F1
MY_TIME_F2
END

Thanks for the help. I used the example from Francis and applied it to my scenario. I was able to concatenated a start time with an end time using the following code.

BTEMP_DATE/A14='99991231'|J13.SSRMEET.SSRMEET_BEGIN_TIME;
BTime/HHIa=HINPUT(14, BTEMP_DATE, 8, 'HHIa');
ETEMP_DATE/A14='99991231'|J13.SSRMEET.SSRMEET_END_TIME;
ETime/HHIa=HINPUT(14, ETEMP_DATE, 8, 'HHIa');
FTime/A15=HCNVRT(BTime, '(HHIa)', 7, 'A7')|'-'|HCNVRT(ETime, '(HHIa)', 7, 'A7');
