[RBG7-L] - RE: Time calculations

[John Engwer]

Tom, here is some code that I use in an EEP to allow employees to check in and out.  It works like a time clock. The table that I use to collect time in and time out data is called Time_Track .  It contains the employee number, time_in, time_out and a field that contains their allotted lunch time. (data type for time_in & time_out is DateTime) I have a “check in” and “check out” button on a form.  The employee clicks on the appropriate button and enters their employee number and the code does the rest.   --Check Out EEP SET VAR vio TEXT = NULL SET VAR vlunch_adj REAL = 0 SET VAR vlunch REAL = 0 SET VAR ilunch_adj INTEGER SET VAR itot_hrs INTEGER SET VAR ilunch INTEGER --check to see if employee is checked in SELECT checked_in INTO vio FROM employee WHERE emp_number = .vemp_no IF vio = 'O' THEN   PROPERTY idcontinue visible 'FALSE'   PAUSE 2 USING 'You are already checked out!' CAPTION '"CHECK OUT" ERROR' +   icon serious button 'Please CANCEL to continue' ELSE   UPDATE employee SET checked_in = 'O' WHERE emp_number = .vemp_no   UPDATE time_track SET time_out = .vdate_n_time, +   tot_hours =(brnd(((time_out-time_in)/3600),4,.1)), +   lunch_adj = 0 +   WHERE emp_number = .vemp_no AND time_out IS NULL ENDIF SELECT SUM(lunch_adj),SUM(tot_hours) + INTO vlunch_adj INDICATOR ilunch_adj,vtot_hrs INDICATOR itot_hrs + FROM time_track + WHERE emp_number = .vemp_no AND (DEXTRACT(time_in)) = .#DATE SELECT lunch INTO vlunch INDICATOR ilunch FROM employee + WHERE emp_number = .vemp_no IF vtot_hrs >= 6 AND vlunch_adj = 0 THEN   UPDATE time_track SET lunch_adj = .vlunch +   WHERE emp_number = .vemp_no +   AND (DEXTRACT(time_in)) = .#DATE +   AND COUNT = LAST ENDIF CLEAR VAR vio,vemp_no,vlunch,vlunch_adj,ilunch_adj,itot_hrs,ilunch RETURN     John Engwer   From: rbg7-l@rbase.com [mailto:rbg7-l@rbase.com] On Behalf Of TOM HART Sent: Sunday, July 10, 2005 9:36 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Time calculations   I am making a table to keep track of employees time.  I have timein and timeout and a calculated column of totaltime.  When i enter times the calculated column remains null.  This is probably something very simple, but any help would be appreciated Tom Hart
