Hi all,

I have a similar issue to Mike's.  I'm trying to calculate time differences
between data elements with a value type of Time, but the program indicators
do not seem to calculate.  It appears that the time values might be stored
as strings in the system?  Has anyone encountered this issue?

Thanks,
Aaron
