hhhhhh:mm format data element

Former Member — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:50:37 GMT

Hi Experts,

I have to upload an excel file into program and update a Ztable. In the Excel file there is a column which is maintaining time in the format as follows:

d.hh:mm

317.22:15

i.e. 317 days 22 hours and 15 mins, if we add 3 hours to it then it will be 318.01:15.

I want a field to store this type of time format in the ztable.

So can u suggest me any data element which can solve my problem or any other solution.

Can I get a data element which can have hhhhhh:mm or hhhhhh:mm:ss format, so that i can store it using this format after calculating e.g. 317*24 = 7608; as 7608 + 22 = 7630; 007630:15 :: hhhhhh:mm.

Hi Abhi,

Your date time format does not contains year - check if You want to ignore it.

If You do not need year, than You can store it simply as INT4 type

and use conversion exit to change int to / from hhhhhh:mm:ss format.

Alternatively, You can convert it to date and time fields.

Przemysław

Hi,

You can use the data element ANLVZ. or you can create your own data element with taking data type as TIMS which stores time as hhmmss.

Hi,

To be more specific, You can also use Data element TIMESTAMP which is in Form (YYYYMMDDhhmmss) It's a UTC (Universal coordinated time) timestamp.
