Is there a function to add time to a Date/Time (that I couldn't find)? ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grooms, Frederick W Sent: May 22, 2007 6:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Extracting Date from Date/Time Field - need help! Since all you want is the date (and all oof your dates went in at 12 midnight) you can add an hour (or more) to your Date/Time value before moving it to the Date field. That should guarantee you are in the correct date.

The Date went in as the specified date at 12:00:00AM, but when we extract a date between March 11 and April 1 inclusive the hour is decremented to 11PM the day before and the day is decremented by one. I've created a new field that is a Date field and moved the contents of the Date/Time into date, guessing that the time would simply be truncated, but the DST calculation takes place first and I get the wrong date! We're a few patches behind in Server 6.3 (currently at Patch 12), but patching up to the current level is presently not an option. Has anyone worked out a solution to this (interesting but annoying) problem?
