substractin the dates

[Former Member]

Dear All,

there are two dated l_date1 and l_date2.

i want find out the difference between these dates in days.

dif = l_date1 - l_date2 works fine if l_date1 > l_date2 but if l_date2 > l_date1 then direct substraction is not giving the proper answere.In this case i want minus symbol if l_date2 > l_date1.

How to get this.

Use this code.

IF date1 > date2.
  diff = date1 - date2.
ELSE.
  diff = -1 * ( date2 - date1 ).
ENDIF.
