time calculation incomplete for seconds

I need the below to include seconds in the output field.  I have looked everywhere and I'm sure simple.  Please help.

if (HasValue(startsamplingtime) and HasValue(endsamplingtime)) then

var TimeDiff = (Time2Num(endsamplingtime.formattedValue, "HH:MM:SS") - Time2Num(startsamplingtime.formattedValue, "HH:MM:SS")) / (1000 * 60 * 60)

//truncate to hours

var HourDiff = Floor(TimeDiff/60)

//get minutes less than 60

var MinDiff = Mod(TimeDiff,60)

need seconds here

var SecDiff =

// build fomatted dispaly string

Concat( Format("Z9", HourDiff), ":", Format("99",MinDiff), ":", Format("99", SecDiff) )

else

// if any values missing null the output

null

endif

Hi,

Try something like;

 

if (HasValue(startsamplingtime) and HasValue(endsamplingtime)) then

   var millisecondsPerMinute = 1000 * 60;

   var millisecondsPerHour = millisecondsPerMinute * 60;

   var interval = Time2Num(endsamplingtime.formattedValue, "HH:MM:SS") - Time2Num(startsamplingtime.formattedValue, "HH:MM:SS");

   // Calculate the hours, minutes, and seconds.

   var hours = Floor(interval / millisecondsPerHour );

   interval = interval - (hours * millisecondsPerHour );

   var minutes = Floor(interval / millisecondsPerMinute );

   interval = interval - (minutes * millisecondsPerMinute );

   var seconds = Floor(interval / 1000 );

   Concat( Format("Z9", hours), ":", Format("99",minutes), ":", Format("99", seconds))

endif

Thanks!  That work perfectly!  My scripting is limited and had already tried multiple codes.

If I want to add in the day for instances that run over would I have to combine date/time field and do calculation or is there a way I could calculate separately and then concatenate?

Thanks
