SYNTAX

<DateTime1>.hoursBetween(<DateTime2>)

Returns the Integer number of hours between any two DateTimes or Times. The function calculates the number of milliseconds between the two values and divides that number by 3,600,000 (the number of milliseconds in an hour). The decimal portion is then truncated. If the two dates differ by less than a full hour, the value is zero. This function returns a positive number if <DateTime2> is later than <DateTime1>.
