URGENT : Hours between two dates !!

[Former Member]

Hi everybody

we have an urgent requirement to track the effort .

We need to find the hours between two dates.

IS there any Function Module in SAP for this ??

Any pointers on the same would be useful.

Try the FM CCU_TIMESTAMP_DIFFERENCE

It gives you the difference between two timestamps in seconds..which you can divide by 3600 to get hours.

hi anurag..

thanks for your concern.

i tried the listed FM but it gives a negative value..

any feedback is welcome.

It would give you positive result if the Timestamp1 is greater than timestamp2.

Extract from the FM code.

IF TIMESTAMP1 < TIMESTAMP2.

SIGN_FACTOR = -1.

DATE2 = TIMESTAMP1(8).

TIME2 = TIMESTAMP1+8(6).

DATE1 = TIMESTAMP2(8).

TIME1 = TIMESTAMP2+8(6).

ELSE.

SIGN_FACTOR = 1.

DATE1 = TIMESTAMP1(8).

TIME1 = TIMESTAMP1+8(6).

DATE2 = TIMESTAMP2(8).

TIME2 = TIMESTAMP2+8(6).

ENDIF.

hi ..

the function module SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE is helpful

in the problem context ..but not entirely..

it gives an insight into the code structure..

thanks & Regards

Hullo,

the following functionmodule might be what you are looking for: 'L_TO_TIME_DIFF'

call function 'L_TO_TIME_DIFF'
  exporting     
    i_start_date           = i_qmel-strmn
    i_start_time           = i_qmel-strur
    i_end_date             = i_final-budat2
    i_end_time             = i_final-erzet2
    i_time_uom             = 'H'  
  importing
    e_time_diff            = ydatdiff
* EXCEPTIONS
*   INPUT_DATA_EMPTY       = 1
*   OTHERS                 = 2
           . 

if sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4. 
endif.

You can always code it yourself:

DATA: start_date TYPE sy-datum VALUE '20061101',
      end_date   TYPE sy-datum VALUE '20061108',
      days_between type i,
      hours_between type i.

days_between = end_date - start_date.

hours_between = days_between * 24.

Maybe this will help you.

Hi pankaj,

try this.

data : date1 type sy-datum,  
     date2 type sy-datum,    
   time1 type sy-uzeit,   
    time2 type sy-uzeit,   
    v_datediff type p,      
 v_timediff type p.      
 date1 = '20060101'.   
    date2 = sy-datum.    
 
 
   time1 = '010101'.     
  time2 = sy-uzeit.
CALL FUNCTION 'SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE'  
EXPORTING    
DATE1                  = DATE1   
TIME1                  = TIME1  
DATE2                  = DATE2   
TIME2                  = TIME2
IMPORTING  
DATEDIFF               = v_DATEDIFF   
TIMEDIFF               = v_TIMEDIFF
*EARLIEST              = EARLIEST 
EXCEPTIONS  
 INVALID_DATETIME      = 1  
 OTHERS                = 2          .
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. 
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

<i><b>with oyut any FM</b></i>

data: t1 type tims,
t2 type tims,
t3 type tims,
time_second type i.

t1 = '193030'.
t2 = '093000'.


t3 = t1 - t2.


time_second = ( 60 * t3+0(2) ) + ( 60 * t3+2(2) ) + t3+4(2).

write :/ 't1:-', t1 ,' t2:-', t2 , ' t3:-', t3.
