A number.
Description
Time subtraction produces a date time value or number by subtracting an integral or fractional number of Seconds from Operand1.

The following example shows how to modify a date time variable (type T) by subtracting seconds.
t1 = now() ? t1 = 10/19/2005 11:07:07 53 am t2 = ctodt("10/20/05 12:07:07 53 am") ? t2 = 10/20/2005 12:07:07 53 am ? t2 - t1 = 46799.992 ? (t2 - t1)/60 = 780 ? (t2 - t1)/3600 = 13 t1 = t1 - 3600 ? t1 = 10/19/2005 10:07:07 53 am
