Hi All,

I have to display a field in a report whose datatype is Duration i.e. it displays the data as '8 hours 8 minutes 8 seconds'. But I have to display the data in hh:mm:ss format. Can I do this ? If yes, please suggest the way. I tried using Format function but it didn' work.

Thanks !

You can easily convert the duration variable into the time variable and then call the format function. Here is a simple code snippet on how to show the time in your format.

CurrDuration := 40000000;

MESSAGE(FORMAT(000000T + CurrDuration));

I have handled Hours, Minutes and Seconds but Day is not getting displayed.

I used :

DurTime := 000000T + "Job Task"."Audio Minutes2";

&

column(Audio_Minutes2; FORMAT(DurTime, 0, '<Hours24>:<Minutes,2>:<Seconds,2>')) { }

DurTime is Time variable. Please suggest.

Calculate the days separately and then add before the time:

CurrDuration := 99999999;

CurrTime := 000000T + CurrDuration;

Days := CurrDuration DIV 86400000;

IF Days <> 0 THEN

ReportValue += FORMAT(Days,0,'<Integer,2>') + ':';

ReportValue += FORMAT(CurrTime,0,'<Hours24>:<Minutes,2>:<Seconds,2>');

MESSAGE(ReportValue);

Is it possible to add days in the hours ? For example, in case of 2 days, 48 hrs should be added in the 'Hours' field.

Calculate days, hours, minutes and seconds individually as integers by dividing duration on 1000, 60000 and so on, then do

FORMAT(%1:%2:%3:%4,Days * 24 + Hours,Minutes,Seconds);

It is displaying 0 value in the column.

Below is my code :

column(Audio_Minutes2; FORMAT(Days_ms * 24 + Hours_ms, Minutes_ms, Seconds_ms)) { }

trigger OnAfterGetRecord()

var

myInt: Integer;

begin

JobTaskFilters := "Job Task".GetFilters;

Rec_JobTask.Reset();

Rec_JobTask.SetRange("Job No.", Job."No.");

if Rec_JobTask.FindSet then begin

repeat

TestAudio2 := "Audio Minutes2"; -----Audio Minutes2 is a duration type field

Days_ms := TestAudio2 / 8640000;

Hours_ms := TestAudio2 / 3600000;

Minutes_ms := TestAudio2 / 60000;

Seconds_ms := TestAudio2 / 1000;

until Rec_JobTask.Next = 0;

end;

Compare an example of the format call i sent you:

FORMAT(%1:%2:%3:%4,Days * 24 + Hours,Minutes,Seconds);

And yours:

FORMAT(Days_ms * 24 + Hours_ms, Minutes_ms, Seconds_ms)

Plus your code is incorrect because if you have no value in the "Audio Minutes 2" field of the last JobTask then the final value will be zero. You need to do it like this:

Day_ms +=

Not like you did:

Day_ms :=

system is not accepting FORMAT(%1:%2:%3:%4,Days * 24 + Hours,Minutes,Seconds);.....it throws error as FORMAT does not take 4 arguments.

The first one is string:

FORMAT('%1:%2:%3:%4',Days * 24 + Hours,Minutes,Seconds);
