Hi all,

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.

Thanks ,

Praveen.

Hi,

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.

Reward points if found helpfull...

Cheers,

Chandra Sekhar.
