Capito! -Bob Cozzi www.RPGxTools.com RPG xTools - Enjoy programming again. -----Original Message----- From: mi400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mi400-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Beppe Costa Sent: Monday, October 17, 2005 8:39 AM To: MI Programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Re: [MI400] Compute Date Duration Bob, you aren't missing anything. I already have some basic knowledge of the various RPG opcodes like %DIFF, xxxDUR, etc. but my main program is in MI and not in RPG. I already solved the problem by calculating the object aging in another way but I'm still interested in seeing how the MI/CDD works. (isn't this the MI forum ?) The sample code has been posted in RPG just to make it easier to understand the CDD.
