What is the correct way to declare a duration field in SuiteScript?

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a script on the Time (TimeBill) record.

In short, I use a search for all Time records that match with certain filters, and for each record found, I want to count the "Hours" field into a total for each seperate employee.

I can extract the "Hours" field from the result and use it for calculations etc. and it will show up correctly.

Once I put the value in the local"Total" variable (declared outside of the search.run() scope), it will work no longer.

I have tried many different ways to declare this variable, but I can't seem to find the right one.

Howdy, Stranger!
