Hi All,
I need to write the records into file if the Expiration Date is <= 60 days.
I am calculating the date by Subtracting the current Date from End Date as follows.
COMPUTE WS-DIFF-DT-DD = WS-END-DT-DD - W-SYSDATE-DD
COMPUTE WS-DIFF-DT-MM = WS-END-DT-MM - W-SYSDATE-MM
COMPUTE WS-DIFF-DT-YY = WS-END-DT-YY - W-SYSDATE-YY
IF WS-DIFF-DT-DD < 60 AND WS-DIFF-DT-MM <= 2 AND
WS-DIFF-DT-YY = 0
Then WRITE THE RECORD.
Is that correct. If i am writing the condition wrongly could you please suggest me correct it? |

you should use the LE callable routines to calculate the difference between two dates.
your logic sucks. e.g. sysdate-dd is 10 and the end-dt-dd is 8
why would a ws-diff-dt-dd ever be more than 60?
suggest you provide a better explanation. |

Convert the date from Gregorian(yymmdd) to Julian(yyddd) format and now you can easily find the difference b/w yy and ddd of W-SYSDATE & WS-END-DT. |

Hi Nethraa,
Just to be on the same page, could you explain your requirement better.

How can we compare date to no. of days ?

Again, just to be sure.... From my experience I have seen the expiry date used in such a way that when the differnece between the current date and the expiry date is more than 30 or 60 days, write to a archive file. so are u sure what you have mentioned is correct....
Pardon me for my curiosity... |

If there were an award in this category, this would be a good candidate!
Nethraa,
Use the INTEGER-OF-DATE and DATE-OF-INTEGER functions, maybe. |

try this
COMPUTE X = FUNCTION INTEGER-OF-DATE(END-DATE)-
FUNCTION INTEGER-OF-DATE(SYSDATE)
IF X < 60
WRITE THE RECORD.
the format should be in YYYYMMDD |

previous Dick comment applies 
10 jan 2010 - 25 dec 2009 ==> 650 days
10010 - 09360 ..... |

| Use the Language Environment date functions to convert to and from Lilian day number; do your computations with that. |
