Hi,

if you really want the difference between two timestamps in Years, Months,
Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Microseconds,
just calculate the difference with SQL.

The following example shows the difference between 2 Timestamps:
D                 DS                  INZ                                 
D DiffDate                      20S 6                                   
D   DiffYears                    4S 0 overlay(DiffDate)                 
D   DiffMonths                   2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffDays                     2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffHours                    2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffMinutes                  2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffSeconds                  2S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
D   DiffMSeconds                 6S 0 overlay(DiffDate: *Next)          
                                                                        
D Timestamp1      S               Z   inz(Z'2005-02-01-12.00.00.000000')
D Timestamp2      S               Z   inz(Z'2005-01-31-10.30.00.000000')
 *------------------------------------------------------------------------
C/EXEC SQL                                         
C+    set :DiffDate  = :Timestamp1 - :Timestamp2   
c/END-EXEC                                         
                                                   
C     DiffDate      Dsply                          
C                   Eval      *InLR       = *On
