Re: Substract two dates to get the number of months

["Raul A. Jager W." <raul@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Months converted to decimal can have various definitions, it ususally is
15 days, but in february can be 14, and january, march,... 15.5

You can get an aceptable value using the difference y days divided by 30
or 30.5
