RE: Incrementing dates, subtracting two dates

1. in free format:
/free
   mydate += %Days(45);
/end-free

Fixed format:
c     mydate        AddDur    45:*Days 

2. in free format:
/free
   numberofdays=%diff(date1:date2:*Days);
/end-free

Fixed format:
c     date1         SubDur    date2         number:*Days

 


Thanks,

Subject: Incrementing dates, subtracting two dates

Is there a relatively easy way to 1. increment a date IE: if say you
have a system date of 10/24/2005 and want to add 45 days to it...IE:
payable due date. and 2. substract two dates to get a number of days IE:
10/24/2005 -
08/01/2005 to determine the number of days since.

Bob, does your service program do any of this? When I looked through the
help file I did not see anything that appeared to match up.


If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
