Symptoms

When executing the intervalds() function and passing hours, minutes, and seconds that total greater than 591 hours, 31 minutes, and 23 seconds, the time interval returns as a negative number.

Cause

This issue has been reported to the Appian product team. The reference number for this issue is AN-78778.

Action

Create an expression rule under a different name than the original function.
Create three rule inputs: hour, minute, and second. The data type for all rule inputs should be Number (Integer).
Paste the following definition in the expression rule:

quotient(
    ri!second + 60 * ri!minute + 3600 * ri!hour,
    2147483
) * intervalds(
    0,
    0,
   2147483
) + intervalds(
    0,
    0,
    mod(
        ri!second + 60 * ri!minute + 3600 * ri!hour,
        2147483
    )
)

You can now use this expression rule in place of the original function.

Note: Similarly to the original intervalds() function, the value of each rule input must be non-null.

Kindly note that Appian Technical Support provides the above SAIL code as-is without any express guarantee of functionality. Readers will need to test and adjust the code as necessary.
