Hi Grizzly,

You didn't mention what release you're working with and you weren't explicit
as to what kind of comparison, so here are a couple of examples of the
%SUBDT bif:

/free
if %subdt(date1:*years) = %subdt(date2:*years) and
   %subdt(date1:*months) = %subdt(date2:*months);
...
endif;
/end-free

or

/free
if %subdt(date1:*years) * 100 + %subdt(date1:*months) >
   %subdt(date2:*years) * 100 + %subdt(date2:*months);
...
endif;
/end-free

There's also the EXTRCT op code.

I'm trying to compare the month and year values of 2 different date
fields. Does anyone know this is done?
