I want to write a simple IF statement in my stored procedure, im using SQL 2005. Basically
1) if the status on a record = 'OPEN' then i want to get todays date and then date difference in hours (hours and minutes if possible) between the startup_Time and todays date
2)I only need to get this though if the result is greater than or equal to 24
3)Finally i need to insert this value if its greater than 24 into a hours_on field in my temp table.

This is my attempt so far would appreciate if anyone could point out my mistakes and possibly show my how to get the result when its over >=24, the status field is in my temp table is being populated with data from a view. thanks

If STATUS = 'OPEN'
Begin
update #exceptiontemp
SET hours_on = DATEDIFF(HOUR, startup_Time, GetDate())
End

[code]
update #exceptiontemp
SET hours_on = DATEDIFF(HOUR, startup_Time, GetDate())
where Status ='Open'
AND DATEDIFF(HOUR, startup_Time, GetDate())>= 24
[/code]
