Hi there,
I think you can use DATEDF function for this.
DATEDF ? Calculate Date Difference
This program calculates the number of days, weeks, and months between the two given dates. The one argument is the following array. BEGIN-DATE and END-DATE must be specified by the calling program. The remaining fields are calculated by this routine. The four RESULT fields are the count for each. BEGIN-WEEK-DAY and END-WEEK-DAY are 1 = Sunday through 7 = Saturday.
01 DATE-CALCULATION.
03 BEGIN-DATE.
05 BD-CENT PIC S99 USAGE COMP-5.
05 BD-YEAR PIC S99 USAGE COMP-5.
05 BD-MNTH PIC S99 USAGE COMP-5.
05 BD-DAY PIC S99 USAGE COMP-5.
03 END-DATE.
05 ED-CENT PIC S99 USAGE COMP-5.
05 ED-YEAR PIC S99 USAGE COMP-5.
05 ED-MNTH PIC S99 USAGE COMP-5.
05 ED-DAY PIC S99 USAGE COMP-5.
03 RESULT-DAYS PIC S9999 USAGE COMP-5.
03 RESULT-WEEKS PIC S9999 USAGE COMP-5 OCCURS 7 TIMES.
03 RESULT-MONTHS PIC S9999 USAGE COMP-5.
03 RESULT-YEARS PIC S9999 USAGE COMP-5.
03 BEGIN-WEEK-DAY PIC S9999 USAGE COMP-5.
03 END-WEEK-DAY PIC S9999 USAGE COMP-5.
Hope it will helpful. |

| If you have the two dates, what's wrong with just subtracting the years from each other? |
