Time calculation

Hi,

I have to do time calculations in the internal table. I am having 4 fields in my table such as time1,time2,time1_mer and time2_med.In this the values will be stored like this,

time1->09:50:48

time2->06:04:52

time1_mer->AM

time2_mer->PM.

In this initially i have to do timedifference between time1 and time2. i used ISH_TIME_DIFFERENCE pattern. By this, i am having confusion in giving input in date1 and date2 fields. i am having s_date in the selection screen.what data i have to pass in the date1 and date2 fields in this pattern. could any one plz tell me how to use this pattern.

Hello

Try this logic:


DATA: BTIME1 TYPE TIMS, ETIME TYPE TIMS.
CALL FUNCTION 'HRVE_CONVERT_TIME'
     EXPORTING
          TYPE_TIME   = 'B'
          INPUT_TIME  = time1
          INPUT_AM_PM = time1_mer
     IMPORTING
          OUTPUT_TIME = BTIME.
* After this you will have in BTIME time in military format (13:00:00 instead of 01:00:00 PM)
CALL FUNCTION 'HRVE_CONVERT_TIME'
     EXPORTING
          TYPE_TIME   = 'B'
          INPUT_TIME  = time2
          INPUT_AM_PM = time2_mer
     IMPORTING
          OUTPUT_TIME = ETIME.
* After this you will have in ETIME time in military format (13:00:00 instead of 01:00:00 PM)

Here call ISH_TIME_DIFFERENCE with TIME1 = BTIME and TIME2 = ETIME
and you will have result.
