Andrea,

Will the following work?

table business_hours(
system_date date,
business_day_flag varchar2(1), -- Y/N to indicate a holiday start_hour varchar2(10),
end_hour varchar2(10)) -- If Dec 31st is a working day but half-day, this column can help you with that

This table will have an entry for every day in a year. Then go thru a loop to find the working hours.

How to calculate the working hours (8am - 5pm, no weekends) that a file remain open until now? (Sysdate - Open_Time) returns all the hours including weekend and <8am, >5pm hours. We only like to know the WORKING hours.

Thank you so much!
