Hi All,

I want to calculating value in (Duration = datetime - datetime) this format. W.r.t this formula i am able to get answer in '2 days 39 minutes 33 seconds 957 milliseconds' format but i want same in hh:mm format.

I followed below steps

Name               DataType    Subtype    Length
ProcessStart     DateTime        
ProcessEnd      DateTime
TimeDuration  BigInteger
TotalHours       Integer         

ProcessStart := CREATEDATETIME(010109D,072005T);
ProcessEnd := CREATEDATETIME(300109D,103000T);
TimeDuration := ProcessEnd - ProcessStart;
TotalHours := TimeDuration/3600;
Message('%1',TotalHours);

but facing attached error

Microsoft Dynamics NAV
---------------------------

Overflow under conversion of Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Runtime.Decimal18 value 48659.4325 to System.Int32.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

any other solution for doing same???

Thanks in advance!!

    Madhuri,

    To fix the above issue change your Totalhours DataType to Decimal instead of Integer.

    I would agree with Suresh. You need to change the data type for TotalHours. It should be decimal data type. 

    If you need you can refer https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd338759.aspx for more details about Data types in Dynamics NAV.
