u should supstract variables that are type DATS.

for example:

days = date1 - date2.

days can be string type variable.

HI,

Check for this Fm HR_99S_INTERVAL_BETWEEN_DATES

or

data l_date1 type sy-datum value '20090510'.
data l_date2 type sy-datum value '20090407'.
data l_date3 type i.

l_date3 = l_date1 - l_date2.
write: l_date3.

All you have to do is declare two variables of type D and pass on these values to them. Declare another variable of type I and pass the subtracted value into it.

DATA:

w_highdate type D,

w_lowdate type D,

w_difference type I.

w_highdate = '20090510'.

w_lowdate = '20090407'.

w_difference = w_highdate - w_lowdate.

try with the FM given below:

SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE

Give the difference in Days and Time for 2 dates

With luck,

Hi,

Please check on this code... this works for sure

parameters :
   p_date1 type sy-datum,
   p_date2 type sy-datum.

data : w_diff type i.

start-of-selection.
if p_date2 > p_date1.
w_diff = p_date2 - p_date1.
else.
w_diff = p_date1 - p_date2.
endif.

end-of-selection.
write w_diff.
