Is there a way to convert an INTERVAL >to a number or an DATETIME seconds value. Off the top of my head, I think this will work: in 4GL it would be: LET dtm_stos = EXTEND(int_stos, SECOND TO SECOND(##)); Worst case is to LET a CHAR variable = the INTERVAL, then LET an INTERGER variable = the CHAR. I assume something along one of these lines is possible in ESQL/C ======================================================================= Dennis J.
