Calculate difference between two datetime fields and take into account midnight rollover

Tags: Sybase, PowerBuilder, 11.0
Greetings all,

I have two datetime fields and I want to know if the difference between them is less than 1 hour.

I figured I could use daysafter to compare the dates and secondsafter to compare the times, but I am getting awfully fuzzy with the midnight rollover.

Can someone suggest a simple way to handle that?

Thank you,

Paul
