SET DURATION FORMAT







Syntax




   SET DURATION FORMAT @picture


Description




The default picture used for the format of durations in a schedule report is:

   xxxxx.x
Using this format, the durations of intervals in a schedule are reported to the nearest tenth of whatever unit is used to display the lengths of intervals. When the default units are used (seconds) this is probably more than adequate precision. However, if you change the duration units to days, you may want to have the durations shown to more decimal places. The SET DURATION FORMAT command is used to change the default format.



Examples




Suppose that you want to change the default units used to display durations to days, but that you would still like to see the lengths of the intervals to nearly the same precision as when seconds are used for displaying durations. The following commands will do the trick.

   SET DURATION UNITS  DAYS;
   SET DURATION FORMAT xxxx.xxxxxx;
