Re: Date calculations

This should work for you:  (You may need to worry about the date's 
formatting)

     D Date1           s               d 
     D Date2           s               d 
     C* ______________________________________________________
     C     ShipDate      IfNE      *Zeros
     C                   test(d)                 ShipDate         99
     C     *in99         IfEQ      *Off
     C                   MOVE      ShipDate      Date1
     C                   End
     C                   End

     C     ReQdelDate    IfNE      *Zeros
     C                   test(d)                 ReqDelDate       99
     C     *in99         IfEQ      *Off
     C                   MOVE      ReqDelDate    Date2
     C                   End
     C                   End
     C*                                                         (++--==) 
     C     Date1         subdur    Date2         days:*d      7 0  99
     C   99              Mult      -1            days

        Subject:        Date caclulations

This is a newbie questions so please take it easy on me, everyone has to
start somewhere. I have no manuals available to me (offline), just text
books which yielded no suggestions.

I need to know if it is possible to subtract two dates (which will be
retrieved from an input file as numeric 8 digit fields (yyyymmdd)) and get 
a
numeric answer.  For instance, input fields with numeric values -
ShipDate = 20000808 and ReqDelivDate = 20000804, I would like to have 4 as
my result.

I think it can be done with julian dates somehow but I do not know how to
convert a numeric field to a julian date field.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Kat W
