What manuals have you read. They are available from the sticky topic at the top of the CLIST / REXX forum.
Take a look at the DATE function |

| If they are both in the Base date format, then you can subtract one date from the other to determine the number of days. |

thanks Kevin,
I can get the current date in Base format, but how can I change some date which I am reading from a file to base format? or is there any other method of comparing dates. |

Thanks Enrico,
The links were really helpful. I had used the date functions many times but didn't knew all the options available.
Thank you very much |
