Capture duration time and use it in customized the SQL Server Job System Message

Question

Hi there
I am trying to capture the job duration time and put it on the customized Job email subject.
This is the original message from SQL server, the Bold one is what I am trying to capture.
JOB RUN:            
'Hello' was run on 7/30/2014 at 8:05:00 AM
DURATION:       
0 hours, 0 minutes, 2 seconds
STATUS:              
Succeeded
MESSAGES:        The job succeeded. 
The Job was invoked by Schedule 27 (Job 2).  The last step to run was step 1 (Test).
Is there anyway to do that? I have tried to pull it from jobhistory and I did't have any luck.
Cheers,
Matt

You can take this code and send it to a table, then create your reports
; WITH CTE as -- Use a Simple Common Table Expression
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY job_name -- Add the comma separate columns that need to be unique in the table
ORDER BY ( SELECT 0 ) ) RN ,* -- If the order does not matter on the one you want to keep - the select 0 work well; otherwise add the appropriate order by to make the row you want to keep appear at the top
FROM (
select TOP 100000 job_name, run_datetime, run_duration,run_status
from
select job_name, run_datetime,run_status,
SUBSTRING(run_duration, 1, 2) + ':' + SUBSTRING(run_duration, 3, 2) + ':' +
SUBSTRING(run_duration, 5, 2) AS run_duration
from
select DISTINCT
j.name as job_name,
run_datetime = CONVERT(DATETIME, RTRIM(run_date)) +
(run_time * 9 + run_time % 10000 * 6 + run_time % 100 * 10) / 216e4,
run_duration = RIGHT('000000' + CONVERT(varchar(6), run_duration), 6)
,h.run_status
from msdb..sysjobhistory (NOLOCK)h
inner join msdb..sysjobs (NOLOCK)j
on h.job_id = j.job_id
where h.step_id = 0
) t
) t
order by job_name, run_datetime desc
)X
SELECT @@servername as [ServerName],RN,job_name,run_datetime,run_duration,run_status
FROM CTE
ORDER BY run_duration desc
