Hi All,
I need to write the logic to check the effective date - one day = exp-date then in that case i need to perform a action.
eg. i have to check the if i am putting eff-date (010110) and exp-date(123109) which is one day less than effective. If this codition satisfied than i have to perform some condition.
One more thing date is in [mmddyy] format only and wanted to check the privious day.
Thanks
Abhi |

| If you're writing your program in COBOL, there are intrinsic functions to convert dates to integers and back, allowing addition and subtraction to easily be done. There is a link to the manuals at the top of this page; click on it, find the COBOL Language Reference manual and look for intrinsic functions. If you're using another language, you might be able to use the LE functions, or you may have to write the code yourself. |

| It's amazing how quickly Y2K has gotten forgotten. |

| Craq, that was 10 whole years ago -- an eternity for managers focused on quarterly results! |
