I have the following select:

select to_char((Log_Fortrykk.SistePlate::time -
OrdreNew.SistePlate::time)::interval,'HH24:MI') as diff from Log_Fortrykk

I need the output to be HH:MM, e.g. 00:09... But my prb is when this diff is less than 0,
it shows as 00:-9 and not -00:09

How can I fix this?

Regards,

BTJ
