Not to diminish Sean Lange's comment - but your request

Please Help me and give some ideas.

.

Here is an idea, NOT a solution, but an idea as you requested.

DECLARE @In DATETIME

DECLARE @InHr DATETIME

DECLARE @Out DATETIME

SET @In = '12/17/2012 9:40:00 PM'

SET @Out = '12/18/2012 7:40:00 AM'

SELECT DATEPART(hh,@In) AS 'Hour in',DATEPART(dd,@In)AS 'Day in',DATEPART(hh,@Out) AS 'Hour out',DATEPART(dd,@Out)AS 'Day out'

IF DATEPART(hh,@In) > DATEPART(hh,@Out) AND (DATEPART(dd,@In) = DATEPART(dd,@Out)-1)

PRINT 'do something'

ELSE

PRINT 'Do NOTHING'

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Heh... I hate to ask. What's a "TAT"?

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
