hello,

 

please help

 

Have start_time and end_time in date format and need difference in hh:mm:ss 

 

have 

start_time          end_time

  3:00:00            5:00:00

21:00:00          25:10:23

16:25:00          18:50:10

20:15:34          20:16:50 

21:00:00            1:25:55 /*here end_time is next day time*/

 

want

time_difference

2:00:00            

4:10:23         

2:25:23          

0:01:16         

4:25:55

 

 

below logic is working fine but not for last record, it is giving negative number becasue end_time is in next day

time_difference=end_time-start_time;

format time_difference time8.;
