What a coincidence. You are the second one to ask this very question
today. You don't know Michel Lee by any chance ? Do have a look at the
reply I wrote to his request.

Basically you can use the "difftime()" function to obtain the difference
between two "time_t" values in seconds.

The other solution that I mentioned to Michel is to use the scalar
date/time functions in the SNIPPETS source code collection:
