But if he uses the time field, and no date, he will get all values in that field throughout the table - I.E Forever. Result will be the zone "18:00-06:00" BUT these do not cross each other.. so the Query should be IMHO something like.. ( ( (($TIME$ >= (3600 * 18) ) and ( $TIME$ <= (3600 * 24)) ) AND ( (($TIME$ >= (3600 * 0) ) and ( $TIME$ <= (3600 * 6)) ) ) two zones are covered right? I cannot test this.. but it seems right to me.. I need to bring up a testbed to play.. just have not had time lately.. busy being retired and all... ;-)
Just a thought here.. Oh, you will get every day's records though.. Records for each and every day.. just within that Time. have fun On Jan 7, 2008 10:06 PM, LJ LongWing (Head) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ** Robert, > I think you may have Date Fields and Time Fields confused a bit... > > Time Field - Number of seconds since midnight > Date Field - Date, with no regard for the time > > So if he is looking for time...he should used a time field. > > ------------------------------ > *From:* Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Robert Molenda > *Sent:* Monday, January 07, 2008 6:06 PM > *To:* arslist@ARSLIST.ORG > *Subject:* Re: need help to figure out $TIME$! > > ** Well, the $TIME $TIMESTAMP and $SERVERTIMESTAMP fields act differently, > based upon the field... and more over execution location... > > Since you are attempting a calculation, I first must _assume_ that you are > doing this in a FILTER, which would result in $TIMESTAMP and > $SERVERTIMESTAMP always being equal.
