Math calculation problem! - Where is the help? ? ?

i posted message below hoping able - far nothing!

for sure there must out there can open designer, create 3 numeric boxes, set objects time oriented only, , last box having appropriate java script or formcalc script have show difference in time.

the script show below works great - accept noted. why? modifications need make have work 100% of time?

<<<< below orginal posting on forum >>>>>>>>>>

the following java script entered in "total time" calculation formula

"this.rawvalue = endingtime.rawvalue - beginningtime.rawvalue" when following times inserted calculation accuracy fails.

beginning time: 1430
ending time: 1700

the total time becomes 2:70 rather 2:30.

the reason seems time format in pm mode reading numeric formula rather time formula. therefore, subtraction standard borrowing , carrying (1700 becomes 1600 + 100 + 0) rather time (1700 becomes 1600 + 60).

does have solution?

i have tried resolving issue using "formcalc" no success

please help!

thanks,

tom

ok friend problem way things setup cant subtract number , expect work in time format.
