I have a question regarding Date difference, which should take care of
time as well, Like I have a four fields in a table which is date1,
time1, date2 and time2.

 

Suppose date1 has 20063101, time1 has 06:45, Date2 has 20062502, and
time2 has 05:20, I want to get the days and time difference by
aggregating Date1, time1 and want to get the difference after

combining

Date2 and Time2. 

 

For example

Eval       XYZ = (Date2 + Time2) - (Date1 + time1)

 

Is there any suggestions, how that is to be done. 
  

I've never had to do it myself, but why not put Date1/Time1 into 
Timestamp1, Date2/Time2 into Timestamp2, and do the math with the 
timestamp fields.
