Is there a simple function call within "C" that I can use to convert
number of seconds (keep in mind this may be a type longlong and has to
work on UNIX and NT) into Days, months, Hours, Minutes and seconds.
If anybody can provide me with an example I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance for all that answer this post. 7 9015

No.

Calculating a number of months, days, hours and minutes from a number
of seconds is rather trivial, so I won't bother.
If you intend to calculate a date/time pair from a number os seconds since
some predefined point (the famous UNIX EPOCH for instance) things will be a
lot trickier, since you will have to take leapyears into account too. In
that case i'd suggest using the systems functions for that and write a
wrapper that will (depending on some compiler definition) call the
appropriate function out of your system libs.

The following code ignores months, pending your definition thereof.
(30 days? 365/12.0 days? 28 days? 27.whatever days?)
typedef unsigned long TIMEINT; /* change to long long if you wish */
void ConvSeconds(TIM EINT *d,
TIMEINT *hr,
TIMEINT *min,
TIMEINT *sec,
TIMEINT s)
{
*d = s / 86400;
s %= 86400;
*hr = s / 3600;
s /= 3600;
*min = s / 60;
*sec = s % 60;
}

I have a feeling that your "time in seconds" is a time_t object maybe....
Note that this is not guaranteed to be a measure of seconds.
If anybody can provide me with an example I would be very grateful.
localtime() and gmtime() will do this for time_t objects.

Actually, calculating months is not that trivial. The problem is, what
months? 30 days, 31, 28, 30.5, 365.2425/12?

I'd just create a table holding the days_in_month. Something like
days_in_month[] =
{
31, /* January */
28,
31,
30,
/* etc. */
31 /* December */
};
Then, you need 'leapyear' info for February, which isn't that hard to
calculate. IIRC it's a leapyear if year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0.
But ideas on what's trivial and what's not can be very different. I agree to
that.

Here is a routine I used to use to compute yr, mo, day from the
CP/M date stamp, which corresponded to days since 1 Jan 1978. To
use it you need to make a preliminary conversion of seconds since
something into days since something. Dealing with quad years of
1461 days avoids a plethora of silly errors. No need to worry
further about leap year until 2100.
PROCEDURE drtodate(thedat e : integer; VAR yr, mo, day : integer);
(* 1 Jan 1978 corresponds to Digital Research date = 1 *)
(* BUG - cannot handle negative values for dates > 2067 *)
VAR
i, y1 : integer;
dayspermonth : ARRAY[1..12] OF 1..31;
BEGIN (* drtodate *)
FOR i := 1 TO 12 DO dayspermonth[i] := 31;
dayspermonth[4] := 30; dayspermonth[6] := 30;
dayspermonth[9] := 30; dayspermonth[11] := 30;
IF thedate > 731 THEN BEGIN (* avoid overflows *)
yr := 1980; thedate := thedate - 731; END
ELSE BEGIN
thedate := thedate + 730; yr := 1976; END;
(* 0..365=y0; 366..730=y1; 731..1095=y2; 1096..1460=y3 *)
i := thedate DIV 1461; thedate := thedate MOD 1461;
y1 := (thedate-1) DIV 365; yr := yr + y1 + 4*i;
IF y1 = 0 THEN (* leap year *) dayspermonth[2] := 29
ELSE BEGIN
thedate := thedate - 1; (* 366 -> 365 -> 1 Jan *)
dayspermonth[2] := 28; END;
day := thedate - 365*y1 + 1; mo := 1;
WHILE day > dayspermonth[mo] DO BEGIN
day := day - dayspermonth[mo];
mo := succ(mo); END;
END; (* drtodate *)

Officially || year % 400 == 0. Or equivalently but more symmetrically
year % 4 == 0 && !(year % 100 == 0 && !(year % 400 == 0 )) .
2000 was a leap year. The next effect of the 400 term is 2400, and
it's not unthinkable that we will have a very different calendar by
then. In fact if you want to repeat the Y2K type of mistake you can
just do year % 4 and assume (or try to require) your application won't
be used for dates beyond 2099 or before 1901.

I've been trying to do some type of nested loop...but I'm having problems. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

Hello -
I have about ten integer values that each need to be converted to days,
hours, minutes and seconds. I can't seem to find a formula for same that
works. These integer values come from a Sql Server database that SUMS up the
seconds. The only way SUM will work in SS is with an integer value,
therefore, I could not use datetime in Sql Server.)
I need to ultimately put the converted values into ten datetimepicker
controls.
