To calculate difference between two dates?

Former Member — Wed, 17 May 2006 05:11:02 GMT

Hi All,

Is there any function module or BAPI to calculate difference between two dates which are in timestamp format(ie., Decimal 15)?

Thanks & Regards,

Anil

Hi,

Use this F.M COMPUTE_YEARS_BETWEEN_DATES.

HR_HK_DIFF_BT_2_DATES

May be this will be useful..

Cheers,

Simha.

The difference between the two dates can be found by just subtracting the two.

YOu dont require FM for that,

data : d1 type sy-datum,

d2 type sy-datum,

n type i.

d1 = '20050101'.

d2 = '20060101'.

n = d2 - d1.

write n.

n will be 365.

Hope that It helped

Thanks,

Hi simha,

i tried using FM HR_HK_DIFF_BT_2_DATES, but this FM doesnt give difference when the dates are in timestamp format(date+time).

Thanks & Regards,

Anil.

Use Function module SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE to get the result.

hi,

Try these..

SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE

SD_CALC_DURATION_FROM_DATETIME

Cheers..

Sorry,

Didnt notice timestamp.

You can use this FM

CCU_TIMESTAMP_DIFFERENCE

Use FM 'HR_HK_DIFF_BT_2_DATES' .

Hope it'll solve your issue.

GOt this info from a link:

I am working on a program that needs to show number of days between 2 dates. When I scanned the function library, I only found a function to give you the number of years between dates. I can probably code this in ABAP but does anyone know if a function exists to do this.

I wrote this example for you. I think this is what you need.

DATA: DATE_1 LIKE SY-DATUM,  
             DATE_2 LIKE SY-DATUM. 
             DATA DAYS TYPE I. 

DATE_1 = SY-DATUM. 
DATE_2 = SY-DATUM + 65. 
DAYS = DATE_2 - DATE_1. 
WRITE:/ 'DATE_2=',DATE_2,'DATE_1=',DATE_1,'DAYS=',DAYS

Run this code and then you will understand.

Also refer this link

http://www.sap-img.com/fu004.htm

REPORT ZDATEDIFF.

DATA: EDAYS   LIKE VTBBEWE-ATAGE,
      EMONTHS LIKE VTBBEWE-ATAGE,
      EYEARS  LIKE VTBBEWE-ATAGE.

PARAMETERS: FROMDATE LIKE VTBBEWE-DBERVON,
            TODATE   LIKE VTBBEWE-DBERBIS DEFAULT SY-DATUM.

call function 'FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS'
  exporting
    i_date_from          = FROMDATE
    i_date_to            = TODATE
*   I_FLG_SEPARATE       = ' '
  IMPORTING
    E_DAYS               = EDAYS
    E_MONTHS             = EMONTHS
    E_YEARS              = EYEARS.

WRITE:/ 'Difference in Days   ', EDAYS.
WRITE:/ 'Difference in Months ', EMONTHS.
WRITE:/ 'Difference in Years  ', EYEARS.

INITIALIZATION.
FROMDATE = SY-DATUM - 60.

Reward points if this solves ur problem.

Hi Anil,

You want the difference in what unit?

As I told before you can use the function module CCU_TIMESTAMP_DIFFERENCE. This will give the difference in seconds.

You can convert it to years or days as per your requirement.

data : dt1 like CCUPEAKA-TIMESTAMP,

dt2 like CCUPEAKA-TIMESTAMP,

diff type i,

days type i,

years type i.

dt1 = '20050101111111'.

dt2 = '20040101112222'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CCU_TIMESTAMP_DIFFERENCE'

EXPORTING

timestamp1 = dt1

timestamp2 = dt2

IMPORTING

DIFFERENCE = diff

write : / 'Difference in seconds', diff.

*If you want diff in days

diff = diff / 86400.

write : / 'Difference in days', diff.

*If you want diff in years and days,

years = diff / 365.

days = diff mod 365.

Write : / 'Difference is ' , years ,'years', days , 'days'.

Thanks,

Susmitha
