You can use below FMs to calculate and days and months for given two days.

DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES "For Days

MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES "For months.

Hi,,

Saurabh..

here no need of any function modules as sap provides a great ease for programers unlike in other languages no need to calculate no of days etc etc

all this will be taken care by the data type conversion

if u assign data type d to type i then the variable with the type i holds no of days in it

so u can do directly like this

data:

d1 type d value '20080120',

d2 type d value '20080115',

days type i.

days = d1 - d2.

write days.

o/p will be 5.

as the difference days is 5.

plzz reward if it is usefull...

plzz dont forget to rerward........
