Re: Compute Date Duration

Simon,
I don't think that there is a validation on the output parameter because
it's only a pointer.
Btw I'm missing something because the DDAT1 duration in x0014 is returned
correctly with ISO and YMD date but I can't get it with other date format.
And in any case I can never get a Labeled Duration. Unfortunately the only
documentation is from a single page in the MI functional reference and an
example in C that uses ISO dates. I've found nothing else. Thanks in any
case for your  response.
Giuseppe.
