Ok...I have two different AL's performing the same function, with slightly
different input.  The first is using information in a column representation
of a Date/Time field as the start time, then takes that output and /3600 to
give you the business hours elapsed.
 
 <ACTL>             Process: Application-Bus-Time-Diff "1/2/2007 8:20:52 AM"
"9/26/2008 2:14:00 PM" "Holiday  Schedule" " Weekday Schedule "
<ACTL>             Duration (900109526) = 12952388
<ACTL>          1: Set Fields
<ACTL>             Duration (900109526) = 3597
 
The second action is actually on the form that contains the Date/Time
field...same scenario...but this time I notice it uses the epoch value
instead of the 'local timezone converted value' like the column display of
the information is.  If I do a conversion of  1167751252 I'm told it equals
"1/2/2007 8:20:52 AM" (in my time zone)
 
 <ACTL>             Process: Application-Bus-Time-Diff "1167751252"
"9/26/2008 2:14:29 PM"  "Holiday  Schedule" " Weekday Schedule "
<ACTL>             Duration (Business Hours) (900601624) = 12945217
<ACTL>          1: Set Fields
<ACTL>             Duration (Business Hours) (900601624) = 3595 
 
The difference between these two calculated values is 7171, which is not
quite what I would call a 'round' number as far as time is concerned.  Both
values are calculated using the 7.1 Patch 3 user tool against a 7.1 Patch 3
server.  I'm in Mountain Time Zone....has anyone experienced anything
similar and know what's going on?
