Calculating the Hours between two time values

Dear Folks,
I want to calculate the elapsed hours between two time columns. I am using timestampdiff method for the same. I am able to get the value. But facing an issue of decimal values. For example the elapsed hours between 09:00:00 and 20:30:00 is coming as 11 instead of 11.5. I am using below syntax to get the output.
Code:
select
T_OPEN_TIME,
T_CLSNG_TIME,
TIMESTAMPDIFF
(
8,
char
(
TIMESTAMP(CURRENT date,T_CLSNG_TIME)
-
TIMESTAMP(CURRENT date,T_OPEN_TIME)
)
)
as elapsed_hours
from HOURS_TABLE

Any help would be highly appreciated.Smilie

TRUNCATE(1)                                                        User Commands                                                       TRUNCATE(1)

NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE... DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size A FILE argument that does not exist is created. If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --no-create do not create any files -o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes -r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE -s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow- ers of 1000). SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of. AUTHOR
