TIMEDIFF
Field of Application Function returning the difference between two specifi ed moments of
time in number of seconds.
Syntax TIMEDIFF(<sexp
1
>,<sexp
2
>)
<sexp
1
> is one of two moments of time (time 1).
<sexp
2
> is the other of the two moments (time 2).
Remarks
To get the result as a positive value, the two moments of time, for
which the difference is to be calculated, should be entered with the
earlier moment (time 1) fi rst and the later moment (time 2) last, see
the fi rst example below.
If the later moment (time 2) is entered fi rst, the resulting value will be
negative, see the second example below.
The time should be entered according to the format for the TIME$ variable,
that is in the order HHMMSS, where:
HH = Hour Two digits (00-23)
MM = Minute Two digits (00-59)
SS = Second Two digits (00-59)
Time is entered as a 24-hour cycle, for example 8 o’clock pm is entered
as "200000".
The resulting difference in seconds will be returned.
Examples PRINT TIMEDIFF ("133050","133120")
yields:
30
PRINT TIMEDIFF ("133120","133050")
yields:
-30
