 *  FUNCNAME
 *     FT_ELAPSED()
 *  CATEGORY
 *     Date/Time
 *  ONELINER
 *     Return elapsed time between two days and/or times
 *
 *  SYNTAX
 *  FT_ELAPSED([ <dStart> ], [ <dEnd> ], ;
 *                <cTimeStart>, <cTimeEnd>) -> aTimedata
 * 
 *  ARGUMENTS
 *     <dStart> is any valid date in any date format. Defaults to DATE().
 *
 *     <dEnd> is any valid date in any date format. Defaults to DATE().
 *
 *     <cTimeStart> is a valid Time string of the format 'hh:mm:ss' where
 *     hh is hours in 24-hour format.
 *
 *     <cTimeEnd> is a valid Time string of the format 'hh:mm:ss' where
 *     hh is hours in 24-hour format.
 *
 *  RETURNS
 *     A two-dimensional array containing elapsed time data.
 *
 *  DESCRIPTION
 *     FT_ELAPSED() calculates 
 *     the elapsed time between two Date/Time events.
 *
 *     It returns an array which contains the following data:
 *
 *     aRetVal[1,1]  Integer Days      aRetVal[1,2] Total Days    (nn.nnnn)
 *     aRetVal[2,1]  Integer Hours     aRetVal[2,2] Total Hours   (nn.nnnn)
 *     aRetVal[3,1]  Integer Minutes   aRetVal[3,2] Total Minutes (nn.nnnn)
 *     aRetVal[4,1]  Integer Seconds   aRetVal[4,2] Total Seconds (nn)
 *
 *  EXAMPLES
 *    
 *  FT_ELAPSED(CTOD('11/28/90'), CTOD('11/30/90'), ;
 *                     '08:00:00', '12:10:30')
 *     will return:
 *
 *     aRetVal[1,1] ->  2 (Days)        aRetVal[1,2] ->    2.1740  Days
 *     aRetVal[2,1] ->  4 (Hours)       aRetVal[2,2] ->   52.1750  Hours
 *     aRetVal[3,1] -> 10 (Minutes)     aRetVal[3,2] -> 3130.5000  Minutes
 *     aRetVal[4,1] -> 30 (Seconds)     aRetVal[4,2] -> 187830     Seconds

Uwe,


the code is hardly legible without any indentation. I suggest you use the code markers. Then its easier to follow the code and its logic.

Code Markers

Hello Stefan

I see, the is a Button => Code.
I didn't use it before.
I noticed, all the time i put a source
in a topic, it was reformated.

The code is OK now.

Next time, i change it

Regards
Uwe
