I have dates that come into my program as cn yy mm dd. I put these pieces in a ISO data structure to do some calcs. I want to find how many months transpired between to dates using the %diff. Can I do this with the dates being in a data structure? My program is telling me my parameters are invalid. Here's my set up. IF %Diff(REPTXDATE: + CALCLOSS: *MONTHS)<=12 ADD 1 I1Y12MX Thanks!!!

I have replaced each space by underscore

first : move your pseudo date (the numeric field) to a true date field

second : you can do all the date computations you want

    You need to use real date fields in the %diff function. d bumand s d d demand s d d busched s 7s 0 *this in in format CYYMMDD d DECURS s 7s 0 *this in in format CYYMMDD d months s 5s 0 bumand = %date(busched:*cymd) ; demand = %date(decurs:*cymd) ; months = %diff(bumand:demand:*months) ; if your incoming date format is CCYYMMDD, then use *ISO instead of *CYMD

    Note that "real date fields" are not required for %diff(). As with many %bifs, the parameters may be results of other %bifs. For %diff(), you can use the %date() function against numeric fields in order to convert values without needing "real date fields". Tom
