Steve,

Just subtract the earlier one from the later one. The result is an
integer.

SET VAR vLapsedSeconds INT = (.vDateTime2 - .vDateTime1)

If your time format is set to HH:MM or HH:MM:SS, then the result is
already in seconds.

If your time format is set to HH:MM:SS.sss, then the result is in
thousandths of a second. Divide by 1000 to get seconds.

Bill
