I guess I still don't get why I can subtract time from time, but not add it.
My computed columns work perfectly (or at least, the way I expect)

TravelTable                        (computed columns)
column1     column2    column3   column4       column5    column6
trvestart   jobstart   jobend    traveltime    jobtime    totaltime
12:47:01    13:35:05   14:45:01  00:48:04      01:09:56   01:58:00

The computed columns are (RTIME(0,0,(jobstart- travelstart)))

so subtraction works like I would hope.
Why not addition?

Anyways Guess I need a work around.
so, at the detail level, I need to convert time to int, then add it and convert it back?




I am not following your example very well.

Set var vTime = (ADDMIN(.vTime,IMIN(.vAddTime)))

Dan,

Convert the times to (integer) minutes then do the math.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Need to Add Time to Time

Hi all,


  Having a bit of trouble adding time to time in a report.

Tech travels to a job for 30 mins works for 90 mins (both figures come from computed columns in the servtimes table.

Tech      Job      Drive     Jobtime

Detail section:
tech1    job1   00:30:00     01:30:00
tech2    job1   00:15:00     01:00:00
tech1    job2   00:45:00     01:00:00
-------------------------------------
totals     S/B  01:30:00     03:30:00

I can't seem to find a way to compute these totals
