%MINUTES (Number of Minutes)

%MINUTES(number)

%MINUTES converts a number into a duration that can be added to a time or timestamp value.

%MINUTES can only follow the plus or minus sign in an addition or subtraction expression. The value before the plus or minus sign must be a time or timestamp. The result is a time or timestamp value with the appropriate number of minutes added or subtracted. For a time, the resulting value is in *ISO format.

For an example of date and time arithmetic operations, see Figure 1.
