Reporting Periods, Days, or Hours

The simple use for nnDAY is to obtain a report for nn days up to today. Similarly, the simple use for nnHRS is for getting reports for the preceding nn hours.

This example (with no from or to date and time) generates a report covering 48 hours to the present time.

But from and to dates and time can be used to get reports covering nn hour or day periods ending in the past rather than today. This example generates a report covering two days beginning the first day of 2009.

If to date and time are also given, the period reported is backed off from the to date and time. Basically, the from date and time are ignored if necessary to conform to the period designated. Thus, the following generates a 24 hour report from midnight, July 21, 2009 to midnight the next day. The from date and time are ignored.
