A rather strange request. And unfortunately not very well stated.

Is this a new timestamp, and existing timestamp ???

No this thread is not related to this one just I wanted to know the
syntax for calculating the diff of timestamps and functions like addition od min or sec to timestamps. Other post is different

1. use PARSE instruction to get individual variables for hh, mm and ss.
2. convert hh into seconds and mm into seconds
3. add all together.
4. add 10 to that result

do the reverse (sort of) to get back to timestamp format.
