Re: Query calc # days

Gail,

sorry - this one actually works - I promise!

D1          substr(digits(s1busdat),2,2)||'/'
            ||substr(digits(s1busdat),4,2)||'
            /'||substr(digits(s1busdat),6,2)

D2          substr(digits(s2busdat),2,2)||'/'
            ||substr(digits(s2busdat),4,2)||'
            /'||substr(digits(s2busdat),6,2)

DAYSDIFF    days(date(d2)) -
            days(date(d1))

giving query results:

 S1BUSDAT   D1         S2BUSDAT   D2           DAYSDIFF
  990,115   99/01/15    991,001   99/10/01          259
  991,231   99/12/31  1,000,101   00/01/01            1
  991,230   99/12/30  1,020,101   02/01/01          733
1,020,101   02/01/01  1,020,201   02/02/01           31

sorry for previous bad directions :)

Rick
