counting days between dates

[Former Member]

hi friends, i need to calculate the days lapsed between, when the idoc was created and when it showed error.

so i thought, i need to extract date1 from a table edids when status =50 (ie. idoc created ),

and then date2 should be picked up as soon as the status of this idoc becomes 51 ( ie. error idoc).

for this i thought of doing like below:

data: date1 type sy-datum,

date2 type sy-datum.

select * from edids into table int_edids

where docnum = t_edidc-docnum

and order by countr.

loop at int_edids.

if t_edidc-status = 50.

date1= int_edids-credat.

endif.

if t_edidc-status = 51.

date2 = int_edids-credat.

exit.

endif.

endloop.

lapsed_days = date1 - date2.

will this statement work.

is there a better way of doing this ?

can some one help me with this ?

Check these FM:

FIMA_DAYS_AND_MONTHS_AND_YEARS

Test the FM with the parameters as

 Import parameters               Value
 I_DATE_FROM                     12.08.2007
 I_DATE_TO                       15.08.2007
 I_FLG_SEPARATE                  X

 " You wull get the output as

 Export parameters               Value
 E_DAYS                          3
 E_MONTHS                        0
 E_YEARS                         0

Use this function module to count the number of days...

/SDF/CMO_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE

Pass date 1 and date 2 and get the difference in dates.

Use the Function Module ISHMED_CALC_DATE_TIME_DIFF

Import parameters Value

I_BEGDT 01.01.2007

I_BEGTM 00:00:00

I_ENDDT 01.08.2007

I_ENDTM 00:00:00

Changing parameters Value

CR_ERRORHANDLER

Export parameters Value

E_DIFF_DAY 212

E_ENDDT_EARLY

E_RC 0

U can find the time diff also from this function module.

OR OR OR OR

you Use SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE

DATE1 01.01.2007

TIME1 12:00:00

DATE2 01.08.2007

TIME2 10:00:00

Hi,

Try with this code:

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.
