How to calculate number of days between two date in Template design?

Hello guys
I have a situation where I have to create a template that returns data, and one of the thing of the existing report is that there is a column that is actually the number of days between start date and end date columns..
So in template, how would I be able to do the same? I have start date and end date columns on the template, now when I created another column using expression like end date - start date and preview the template, I am getting errors saying :
Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Cannot convert 03/31/2009 to number.

Hi
There is an extension function you can use, from the javadoc:
date_diff
public static long date_diff(java.lang.String format,
java.lang.String fromDate,
java.lang.String toDate,
java.lang.String locStr,
java.lang.String tzID)
Method to get the difference between two dates in the given locale. The dates need to be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. This function supports only Gregorian calendar.
Parameters:
format - the format to which the difference is required; allowed formats are y (for Year), m(for month), w(for week), d(for day), h(for hour), mi(for minute), s(for seconds) and ms(for milliseconds)
fromDate - the first date
toDate - the second date
locStr - locale string -> lang-Territory
tzID - timezone ID ->http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html
Returns:
the difference in dates in the desired format
For example
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘d’,’2009-09-14’, ‘2009-09-20’,’en-US’,1)?>
give a result of 6
You can substitute in columns for the dates, just remember the date format required.

How to Calculate number of months between two dates

Hi All,
   In one of the fomr developments, I have to calculate the
Number of Days
Number of Months ( Considering Leap Year) provided by the dates, end user enters in the form,
After going thorugh some forum discussion, I have come to know about so many things which were not clear till now.
I have gone through various forums too, some one suggets to make use of FORM CALC and some other JAVA SCRIPT. But the logic i want to build in java script.
The most interesting point is the DATE object is not getting created when i write the below code
var startDate = new DATE(oYear, oMonth, oDay);
I am still not clear, that really the date object gets created in Adobe form If so the why the alert box is getting populated when i write below lines
var oTemp = startDate.getFullYear();
xfa.host.messagebox(oTemp);
So, there are so many unclear things,
If any one can help me by suggesting the approach and how to build the logic in the JavaScript I would be really thankful

I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data.
Point out where the statment above is getting the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get the right results from the given data in those places.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

How to calculate number of days between fixed date and hire date in schema

i want to calculate the number of days between a fixed date en the hire date (infotype 041)
If i read the documentation right, i should use the following command:
HRS=YDXA02
Variable 3 (the x) is the fixed data.
My question is how do i program the variable x?
Let's say the date 01.01.2008
Any help would be welcome

I assume we are talking about PCR for payroll. In this case look at documentation for operation NUM:
OOOOOO
Xnnnnn
X     Table
nnnnn Table field
nn    Date type 'nn' from the Date Specifications infotype (0041)
     Date types are taken from table T548Y.
Your operation would look like:
NUM=Faaesb
      F          Fixed indicator for deadline calculation
       aa           Date type: Start date of period to be
                    calculated; if the date type is not 'nn,'
                    the second position is left blank.
         e          Unit, in which the duration is calculated:
                    T = days
                    W = week
s         End date of period to be calculated:
          (blank) End of current payroll period
          J        End of current calendar year
          A        Start of current calendar year
          B        Start of WPBP period
         No other specifications are possible.
So it depends on what kind of fixed date you need.
Hope it helps,

        java.sql.Date currentDate = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
        java.sql.Date preDate = java.sql.Date.valueOf(stdate);
        System.out.println(currentDate);
        System.out.println(preDate);
//        int dateCom = preDate.compareTo(currentDate);
//        System.out.println(dateCom);
        long diff = currentDate.getTime() - preDate.getTime();
        int days = (int) Math.floor(diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
         System.out.println(days);
}

getTime returns millsecond value of date object and the difference divided by no of milliseconds in a day should fetch you the difference in terms of days.This doesn't respect the DST. Use java.util.Calendar.

How to calculate the hour difference between two dates?

hi all,
how to calculate the hour difference between two dates?

TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(NVL(GRNi.reference_date_3,SYSDATE),'hh24:mi'),'hh24:mi'))*24)*60 Act_Hr
Reg.

Hi
To break the diff between 2 dates into days, hours, minutes, sec -- you can use the following:
select to_char( created, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss' ),
trunc( sysdate-created ) "Dy",
trunc( mod( (sysdate-created)*24, 24 ) ) "Hr",
trunc( mod( (sysdate-created)*24*60, 60 ) ) "Mi",
trunc( mod( (sysdate-created)*24*60*60, 60 ) ) "Sec",
to_char( sysdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss' ),
sysdate-created "Tdy",
(sysdate-created)*24 "Thr",
(sysdate-created)*24*60 "Tmi",
(sysdate-created)*24*60*60 "Tsec"

How can I calculate the maximum number of days between two dates in a range of dates?

I have a column of dates spanning the couse of a few months. I would like to know if I can calculate the maximum number of days between each row and display the highest number. I currently have another column that calculates the days betwen the rows and I am currently just looking at the totals and highlighting the highest period.
Is this possible? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you,
Trevor

This sounds totally possible, Can you post a screen shot of your table to make responding more focused? If you mean you want to:
A) compute the difference (in days) between two date in the same row, then
B) find the max duration (in days)
Here is my take on this problem:
D2 = C2-B2
select D2 and fill down
F1=MAX(D)
to perform the conditional formatting (to highlight the max duration) select column D, then set up conditional formatting as shown in the 1st image

How to calculate number of days between Calendar objects

Hi,
I need to calculate the number of days between two Calendar objects. Here is some sample code:
Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();
now.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
now.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
now.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
now.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
// get a calendar that represents a day in the past
Calendar aDayInThePast = getADayInThePast();
aDayInThePast.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
aDayInThePast.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
aDayInThePast.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
aDayInThePast.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
// how can I calculate the number of days ago this was??
//it would also be useful to get back a negative number if the day is in the future

Calculate Difference in Days Between two Dates

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to calculate the difference in days between two dates using JavaScript in LiveCycle. (JavaScript knowledge = minimal)
Where "Start_Date" and "Current_Date" are the names of the two dates in the Hierarchy palette. (both Date/Time Field)
*Current date is using the Object > Value > Runtime Property > Current Date/Time
I need a Text or Numeric field displaying the difference in days. (Difference_in_Days)
I've noticed the following code being pretty standard amongst other responses:
var
Start_Date = new Date(Start_Date);
var
Current_Date = new Date(Current_Date);
var
nAgeMilliseconds = Current_Date.getTime() - Start_Date.getTime();
var
nMilliSecondsPerYear = 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
I know there's code missing, and the above code might not be correct.
Please advise.

Where "DateField01" = user entered date field
Where "DateFiled02" = Current Date/Time (Runtime Property)
where "Subform" = the subform containing DateField01
My script now resembles:
var oneDay = 24*60*60*1000;
var firstDate = new Date(Subform.DateField01.rawValue);
var secondDate = new Date(DateField02.rawValue);
(firstDate.getTime() - secondDate.getTime()) / oneDay;
I tried adding:
app.alert(String(diffDays));
Although I assume the reason I didn't get an error is because DateField01 is empty when the form is opened.
If I swap in actual dates instead of fields it works perfectly.
When I use the fields I have no information populating after I enter a date in "DateField01"

Number of days between two dates

I have two dates-String Date1, String Date2(format of both the dates is 'DD-MM-YY'eg;'28-Jan-2008'). I want to find the difference between these dates;ie if value of String Date1 is '28-Jan-2008' and value of String Date2 is '28-Jan-2009', I need to find the number of days between these dates. What need to be done? Can anyone help me out please.
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Regards,
Anees

Doing a search is a bit ineffiecient. I'd take advantage of the fact that dates are acually stored in milliseconds. Subtract the two millisecond values (Data.getTime()) and divide by the number of milliseconds in a day. One complication, though, is daylight saving time but if you round rather than truncate in the division it should be fine.
private static final long MILLIS_PER_DAY = 24L * 60L * 60L * 1000L;
int dayDiff = (int)((date2.getTime() - date1.getTime() + MILLIS_PER_DAY/2) / MILLIS_PER_DAY);

Function module to calculate no of days between two date ranges

hi experts,
can some one please suggest a function module that can calculate no of days between specified date range.
for example : if i enter date range between 26.02.2011 to 20.05.2011, then it should calculate no of days between these dates.

Calculate number of days between two festival dates in payroll schema

Hi Experts,
According to my company policy:
If an empl termination happens before Eid festival of the current year, then the pro-rated Eid bonus (yearly) is based on:
(The duration between Eid Festival date of previous year - Eid festival date of current year.)/350 days
Time Evaluation is not implemented in the system. Only payroll is implemented.
My question: How can I capture the number of days between (Eid Festival date of previous year - Eid festival date of current year) in the payroll schema ?
Regards,
Somdeb.

Hi,
You can try using date specification. If you update last year eed holiday date for the employee then you can use the operand F along with NUM to get days between last eed holiday and current payroll period last day.
i.e NUM=FaaT 0
F is operand to query date specification.
aa is the date specification.
T is for unit and it gives number of days
next space is for current payroll period last day and 0 will reset alternate date to zero if no date specification is mentioned.
Basically this will give number of days from date mentioned in date type aa to current period last day. For more info you can go through documentation on operand F for NUM.
Let us know if this helps.

Poorvi.

How to calculate number of days from a date field

Dear BW Experts.
I have a field 'Create Date' in the BEx query. Now we need to create a variable which should give the number of days from the date of running the query (sy-datum) to the Create Date.
This will help the users to get records which are say, 30 days old (Sy-datum - create date = 30) or 10 days old etc.
Could you suggest as to how to create this variable.
Thanks,
Sai

Hi,
Step 1: Create variable on "Create Date" with User entry processing type
Step 2: Create a restricted KF for Sales & restrict it on "Create Date" to get "Sales on day"
Step 3: Manipulate the values of "Create Date" on which you could restrict "Sales" again and again to get other values
Step 4: Create one variable (ZPUTMNTH) for u201CMonth to Dateu201D with processing by u201CCustomer Exitu201D. This variable was created on u201CDateu201D characteristics.
Step 5 : Goto C-mod t-code and use EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001
to calculate "month to date" user input is "Calday" Key Date
WHEN 'ZPUTMNTH'.
IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'ZPDATE'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(6). "low value, e.g.YYYYMM (200606) part of key date (20060625)
L_S_RANGE-LOW+6(2) = '01'. u201C low value e..g. YYYYMM01 (20060601)
