Question about dates

If I have a variable

"MMPROCDT PIC S9(8)" that is a date field.

YYYYMMDD FORMAT DATE "@Y%m%d"
SYSDATE PIC 9(8) Value zero.

ACCEPT SYSDATE from DATE YYYYMMDD.

I need to figure out if "MMPROCDT" is 14 days or earlier than the current
date which is held in SYSDATE.

Thought I could reused YYYYMMDD to hold the value of

=======================

MOVE FUNCTION SUBTRACT-DURATION
(SYSDATE DAYS 14) to YYYYMMDD

====================================

Could come up with another variable than YYYYMMDD if need be.

How do craft the statement to check if "MMPROCDT" is at least 14 days
earlier than today's date "SYSDATE"?

A bit weak on my date manipulation.
