Frank here's the formula you gave, and changes some part of it:
$PROCESS$ @@:Application-Bus-Time-Diff $Alarm End Date$ $Alarm Start Date$

and the image is like this:
ALARM START DATE : 7/1/2009 12:00:00 AM
ALARM END DATE : 7/30/2009 12:00:00 AM
ALARM DURATION : 1/1/1970 8:00:00 AM


Well you see the output (ALARM DURATION ) is not correct if you're going to
subtract the start and the end date. 

Gee! thanks for the help
