convert to time question

[Larry Watts]

I understand that Thierry wanted to convert seconds to show a duration, not a time of day.  For my app, I wrote a rather long piece of code to convert a sum of seconds into a time display (because I'm a real newbie). I appreciate Thierry's concise function, to which I added a line for also showing the seconds in addition to hours and minutes, which is needed in my app.

function MyConvert t

put t div 3600 into h

put ( t - h * 3600 ) div 60 into m

put ( t - h * 3600 ) - ( m * 60 ) into s

return format( "%02d:%02d:%02d", h, m, s)

end MyConvert



Thanks Thierry!

Larry

Yes, I understand.

So, to go ahead, I did make this little convert function,
which transforms any seconds into his hh::mm equivalent.
It's a duration in fact, not a clock time !

function MyConvert t
    put t div 3600 into h
    put ( t - h * 3600 ) div 60 into m
    return format( "%02d:%02d", h, m)
end MyConvert

Out of curiosity, I would be very much interested to understand
how we can make the build in convert command work ?

Any convert expert ?

Regards,
Thierry
