The formatElapsedTime(...) function has four variations, not counting syntax variations, corresponding to the two types of data that it can format plus a short/long format option. The format function converts Integer values and DateDiff values into String values indicating elapsed time.

formatElapsedTime( integer-value )
formatElapsedTime( datediff-value )
formatElapsedTime( integer-value, abbrev )
formatElapsedTime( datediff-value, abbrev )
integer-value.formatElapsedTime( )
datediff-value.formatElapsedTime( )
integer-value.formatElapsedTime( abbrev )
datediff-value.formatElapsedTime( abbrev )

datediff-value	The DateDiff value to be formatted and converted to a String value.
