help to show integer value in a time format - newbie

[mumbaimacro]

Ok, so a date/time value is stored as an int. So far so good; What exactly is
stored in that int? The time of the day? Are seconds, milliseconds included?
We need to specify exactly what is in that int and how time is encoded as an
int value before we can start designing or even implementing fancy classes.

Right now we haven't even touched the specification/requirement stage which
has to be completed before we can even design something.

kind regards,

Jos

Field Size
Time 6


In that case for eg : This value s stored from other program based on some conditions

Value for this field is 194512 in table and display will be either of the one below , i am not sure which one s appropriate or easy to show from the below formats

19:45:12 (hh:mm:ss)
or
07:45 pm

You mean the field size is 6 or less?
I suggest you work on the allowable input first and how it maps to time. Displaying in 12 hour or 24 hour is easily done as the the last exercise.

actually that time s stored by a cobol prgm , where its updating table with 6 digits

TIME 9(006)

but when i look in sybase table desciption its showing the following

TIME int 4

also all d data i am having for this field n sybase shows

TIME 194512

so confused to tell u the correct size sir!!!!!!!!!

But if the decimal representation of the number is equal to, say, the display of
a digital clock, all you have to do is something like this:

[code=java]
DecimalFormat df= new DecimalFormat(" 00,00,00");
DecimalFormatSy mbols dfs= new DecimalFormatSy mbols();
dfs.setGrouping Character(':');
df.setDecimalFo matSymbols(dfs) ;
...
// and format away using df and your int values
[/code]

ps. read the API documentation for those classes; most likely I made a few
typos above; it was from the top of my head.
