Comparison with fields date format

Hi all.

If I have a field1 date in the format "yyyy-mm-dd hh: mm: ss", how can I do to

see if another field2 in the same format, is out of range

in the range of plus or minus 10 minutes compared to the previous field?

How do I add or subtract 10 minutes from field1 and verify

if field2 is out of range?

Can you tell me some examples in this topic?

   THANK

If the field has been correctly interpreted as a date or timestamp, the numeric value is used at all numeric operations. Which means that the formatting isn't interesting.

Examples:

  • If Field1 is a date '12/31/2012' and Field2 is a date '2012-12-31', then Field1=Field2 will evaluate as TRUE.
  • Fabs(Field1-Field2) < 10/24/60 will return TRUE if the field values are less than 10 min apart.
