Calculate Date from Hours

Is there a standard SAP function module that calculates a date using a specific number of hours?
For example:
The expected GR date is 4 days and 11 hours from the PGI date. So we would like to use the functionality to add 107 hours to the PGI date to recieve the Expected GR date.
thanks,
brian

Hi brian,
1. The logic is simple.
2. For this purpose, i have an independent
   subroutine - FORM,
   in which we pass the hours,
   and we get back days, and hours.
107 hours = 4 days , 11 hours
3. just copy paste in new program
4.
report abc.
DATA : DAYS TYPE I.
DATA : HRS TYPE I.
parameters : h type i DEFAULT '107'.
perform getfigure using H CHANGING DAYS HRS.
WRITE : DAYS , HRS.
FORM
form getfigure using phours changing days hrs.
DATA : MYDAYS TYPE P DECIMALS 2.
MYdays = phours / 24.
DAYS = TRUNC( MYDAYS ).
hrs = phours mod 24.
endform.
regards,
amit m.

Find date from Hours

All,
I have from date & number of absences hours. I need to calculate till what date he will be on leave.
Say Leave start from 01/17/2008 for 80 hrs. I shd able to get the till date as 01/30/2008 (till what date he will be on leave). This excludes weekend & holidays.
can anyone help me..
BM

HI,
Try like this...
date: 1/17/2008
hrs absecnce: 80
total days : 80/8 = 10. ( assuming 8hrs /day)
add 1/17/2008 + 10 days = 1/27/2008.
meanwhile u need to check for holidays and weekends.
to add days u can use some function modules available.

How to calculate the total of absences? How to collect data from a specific line of a table?

Hi,
Again, I made a nice coloured picture from a screen capture which summarise the improvements that I would like to make in my form,
Situation:
For an educational purpose, I made this form   to simplify the way of recording the data and also to develope the independence of the students.
( I am doing this on a voluntary basis, working extra hours on my free time but I don't really mind because I am learning a lot of things in the same time)
After being tested by the teacher, the student has to record the short date, the lines memorised, his grade, number of mistakes, and his attendance.
I created everything in Word, then converted the file in PDF, then I created all the different fields with Adobe acrobat.
There is in total 4 sheets, there are all similar except the first one in which there is a box with: date started, date finished, total time spent, absences.
Below this box there is a table with 16 lines from (A to P) and 7 columns (Days, Date, From.. to.. , Grade, No. lines memorised, No. Errors, Attendance) ( so this table is present on all the sheets)
Due to the fact that some students need more time than others, and also beacause some text need more time, I estimated a need of 4 sheets at the very most.
I would like to make the following amelioration and automate the inputting of some of the data because I know that some of the students will certainly forget, so to avoid this scenario I am trying to make this form the easiest possible.
screen capture of the form:
screen capture of the form editing, you can see the names of the different fields:
here is the form (only the first page) : http://cjoint.com/12fe/BBotMMgfYIy_memorisation_sheet_sample.pdf
In yellow 00000:
At present, the students has to input the total of absences manually, is there a way ( script) to automate this by initialising the field next to "Absences" at " 0 day"   and then everytime that Absent is selected from the COMBO BOX, it add 1 and it is displayed like this: " 1 day" then " 2 days" then " 3 days" etc … (so from what I read I have to initialise a counter a the beginning and then for (i...   ) count= count++; something like this...
Furthermore, I need a solution to overcome the possibility that a second sheet may be needed for the same student; therefore I would need the data from the "attendance column" from the second sheet ( and perhaps the 3rd and 4th aswell) to be added on the "absences field" in the first sheet
My idea: everytime that the short date is inputted in the first line (next to A) in the "Date" column of one of the 4 sheets then we check the 16 Combo box of the attendance column in this sheet instead to check 16*4=64 fields fot the 4 sheets in one go?
but I don't know at all how to write it in Javascript. Or perhaps there is a way more easier than that?
Shall I allocate a value for Absent on the “ export value”?
In purple
At present I wrote a simple script which matches the number of lines to the poem selected (Eg. if I select the poem V.Hugo, the number "36" will appear next to Number of lines).
Again I would like the make the life of the students very easy so I would like a script which detects this number “36” on the "From .. to …" column, as soon it is detected (on the first sheet or 2nd or 3rd or 4th) check from the same line if "A / Pass" or "B / Pass" have been selected in the "Grade" column ,if yes the short date inputted on this line will be written on the field next to "Date finished" .
this is a simple example with 36 lines only but somethimes, the students may have to memorise 80 lines and more, this is the reason for having 4 sheets in total.
So basically I would like to automate the field next to" Date finished:" with a script that collect the short date from the day in which the student has finished his memorisation with "A / Pass" or "B / Pass"
As for the "Total time spent" George Johnson helped me with a script that calculate the difference betwen date started and date finished (thank you)
I am sollicting your help, because after trying for hours I was really confused with the different if/else needed. And in top of that, it’s my first experience with Javascript.
I anticipate your assistance, thanking you in advance.

I found this for counting the absences, its give you the total that's perfect, but is there a better methode which avoid me to write all the fields name, more simple????
( I found the idea here : Re: Total number added automatically )
// custom calculation script for field "Total #"
function CountFields(aFields) {
var nFields = 0;
for(i = 0; i < aFields.length; i++) {
try {
// count null values, export value of Absence is 0;
if(this.getField(aFields[i]).value == "0") nFields++;
} catch(e) {
if(e['message'] == "this.getField(aFields[i]) has no properties") app.alert("unknown field name: " + aFields[i]);
else app.alert(e.toString());
} // end catch
} // end for aFields
return nFields;
// create array of field names to count
var aNames = new Array("Sheet1AttendanceA","Sheet1AttendanceB","Sheet1AttendanceC","Sheet1AttendanceD","Sh eet1AttendanceE","Sheet1AttendanceF",
"Sheet1AttendanceG","Sheet1AttendanceH","Sheet1AttendanceI","Sheet1AttendanceJ","Sheet1Att endanceK","Sheet1AttendanceL",
"Sheet1AttendanceM","Sheet1AttendanceN","Sheet1AttendanceO","Sheet1AttendanceP" );
// count the non-null fields;
event.value = CountFields(aNames);
As for the 2nd question, I've tried to do something similar to the previous script, but of course it doesn't work, but I am quite sure that the idea is similar:
I don't know also how to add the other condition: the student should get A / Pass or B / Pass in order to consider he has finished??? and also how to check these condition from page 2, 3 and 4 and collect the date
function Datefinished(bFields) {
d2.value = nFields[i].value;
for(i = 0; i < aFields.length; i++) {
try {
if(this.getField(aFields[i]).value == this.getField("NumberLines").value) d2.value = nFields[i].value;
} catch(e) {
if(e['message'] == "this.getField(aFields[i]) has no properties") app.alert("unknown field name: " + aFields[i]);
else app.alert(e.toString());
} // end catch
} // end for aFields
return nFields;
// create array of field names to check
var aNames = new Array("Texte00","Texte54","Texte56","Texte58","Texte60","Texte62","Texte64","Texte66","Te xte68","Texte70","Texte72","Texte74","Texte76","Texte78","Texte80","Texte82");
var bNames = new Array("d1","d3","d4","d5","d6","d7","d8","d9","d10","d11","d12","d13","d14 ","d15","d16","d17");   // d1 is included because in some cases a student can finish in 1 day (short text);

How to Calculate Duration from Date Columns

Hello,
I would like to calculate duration from date columns. Using the following query
SELECT DISTINCT
EVENT_ID,
To_Char(RU.START_TIME, 'HH24:MI') START_TIME,
To_Char(RU.END_TIME, 'HH24:MI') END_TIME
FROM ROOM_USAGE RU
What I need is to subtract START_TIME from END_TIME and result should be in minutes.
Many Thanks,

But, i think you need to calculate the number of days if the days are not same -

How to calculate Number of Hours between 2 dates

Hi,
I have a Column in a table of datatype DATE i.e. Update_Date. Now How do I calculate number of hours passed starting from this date entered in the Update_Date column to SYSDATE. e.g. if the date in column is 2-FEB-2009 and the sysdate is 2/2/2009 2:07:40 AM it should give me 24. How can I get this number of hours.
Update_Date - Sysdate = Number of Hours.
Thanks

When you subtract two dates in Oracle, you get a difference in terms of days. Just multiply that by 24 to get hours.
SELECT (sysdate - update_date) days,
(sysdate - update_date) * 24 hours
FROM your_tableThat said, it is not obvious how your example works. You state
if the date in column is 2-FEB-2009 and the sysdate is 2/2/2009 2:07:40 AM it should give me 24Since both dates are on February 2, 2009, the only difference is in the time component. If we assume that the time component of the UPDATE_DATE value is midnight since it is not specified, there is a little more than 2 hours of difference between the two dates. How is it that you determine there are 24 hours of difference?

Migration assistant stalled ( 110 hours, after 30 hours ). How else can I transfer my data from PC to new iMac without wireless migration assistant?

i am a new mac user
i have a new imac
was trying to transfer data from old pc to imac using migration assistant ( wirelessly )
i had done it once already, but i noticed that although it took about 8 hours, very little data from the c drive was actually transferred ( i had not noticed i had to designated folders to copy )
so i did it again, targetting folders on the D drive and my external hard drive F - lots of data ( about 300 GB )
after an hour i noticed that the estimated time for completion was 88 hours ! i did let it run for about 30 hours anyway and hoped for the best ...
this morning when i woke up the time remaining was estimated at 42 hours, but then it suddenly jumped to 110 hours !!!
when i came home 8 hours later, it was still at 110 hours, so i stopped it - i assumed it had crashed ...
i got a message that one folder on my pc might have been lost - corrupted
incredibly, after more than 30 hours, no data had actually been transferred to my new mac !!!!
in any case, i see now that migration assistant created a new user account anyway, which i do not want
SO
how can i transfer data from my pc laptop to my new imac, preferrably with a direct cable connection as opposed to wireless, directly into my main account
and i how can i delete the other account migration assistant created in the initial "successful" transfer
thanks

How to calculate AGE from two different date fields

hi
I need to calculate AGE from two different date fields.
Can some help me how to do, when i try to do substraction formula it is showing error.
Thank You
Manu

Manu wrote:
Hi
Both fields are in date format only, i need to calculate no . of days between two different dates
Thanks
ManuThe reason for the question about the format of the column is because the simplest solution only works on DATE columns. Others have mentioned this here, but if you want the difference between two date fields, you can use this formula:
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, date_column1, date_column2)
The above being said, you still didn't tell me what you did, or what error message you received. So again, if the above formula didn't work, what did you do? Where did you put the formula? What was the exact syntax you used? What was the error message you got?
Please don't make us work more than we need to. Answer all the questions in your next post. Thanks.

Hello,
If you had configure server2 as
linked server on the server1, you can run the following statement inside stored proceduce to copy table data. And then create a job to the run stored proceduce every 4 hours.
Insert Into Server2.Database2.dbo.Table2
(Cols)
Select Cols From Server1.Database1.dbo.Table1
Or you can use the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to export the data from server1 to server2, save the SSIS package created by the wizard on the SQL Server, create a job to run the SSIS package.

Calculate age from a date on numbers

I am trying to calculate age from a given date in the application numbers. The dates are all in the same column but i need to convert them to ages. I have not been able to find any formulas!

Hi,
DATEDIF is a good place to start:
This example is from the Function help in Numbers, I claim no credit for it.

I m trying to transfer my data from my imac to my macbook pro using transfer manager i m connected to wiifi it says that the process will take above 55 hours ? I have only 38gb to tranfere ? Why so long isnt normal

Hi
I m trying to make a transfer to all my data from my imac to my macbook pro with wireless ... And using my transfer manager as requested but it show 55 hours time to download ? Whats wrong ?

So there are several factors that may point to why your transfer is going to take so long. First and foremost it is going to be the type/speed of wireless you're using. Your router and computers should all be using the same type of wifi (ie 802.11G or 802.11N). That will ensure the best "theoretical" transfer speeds across your network. Depending on what type of router you have and what type of wireless cards your computers have that will determine the max theoretical transfer speeds you could achieve. For instance the fastest available wifi is currently 802.11N at approximately 300MB/S maximum transfer speed. Realistically you'll probably see about 10% of that.
Secondly the speed of the computers and their hard drives will also play a large factor in the transfer time. If your computer has a slower processor or uses a lot of virtual ram (which uses the hard disc drive) you will experience slower transfer speeds.
As seventy one said you will experience MUCH faster transfer speeds over ethernet. You will especially noticie faster speeds over gigabit ethernet. Gigabit speeds require both computers to have a gigabit ethernet port and a router with a gigabit ethernet switch.
With all of that being said depending on other variables the connection may speed up and slowdown depending on current network traffic and your transfer time may increase/decrease accordingly. I would suspect it won't take 55 hours.
