Calculate the number of hours:mins between two dates

[karlomutschler]

good day,
the number of hours and minutes between two dates have to
be calculated.
eg
sdate = 18APR2007:10:34:51
edate = 19APR2007:09:22:58

Any assistance is most welcome.

Kind regards
Karlo

If the two fields are SAS data tiems fields, then this is easy. Subtract the two fields and you'll be left with the number of seconds between them. you can then either use a format to show hours and minutes, or you can divide by 60 to get the number of minutes etc.
