Hi..
I have two dates and would like to find out the difference of these dates in hours and minutes..
For example: I have a Report date : '2006/08/07 09:30:21' and Received date '2006/08/06 08:00:00'.. I want to find out the dfference in hours and minutes..
Is there any function in DB2 to get this? I wnat to write a query to get this and I really appreciate your help.
I have looked into the previous questions on the forum but could not find espeecially converting a date into hours and minutes..
Thank you and have a great day.

vasukavi,
The difference between two 2 timestamps gets tricker in terms of hours and minutes is way too complicated with the leap years and days in a month using just the SQl.
How about the using the Language environment calls as shown in here. The link has an example of calculating the difference between 2 timestamps.

Hope this helps...
