Get Date Difference between 2 date values as days

Hi,
How to get the difference between 2 dates in number of days format. Say if i need the difference between 2012-08-23 and 2012-08-20 as 3
Please help..

Hi,
You can do it in XSLT since the dates are in ISO 8601 format...
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Here is a sample XSLT...
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="date1" select="xs:dateTime(/root/date1)"/>
<xsl:variable name="date2" select="xs:dateTime(/root/date2)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="fn:days-from-duration($date2 - $date1)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>The above XSLT will result *4* for the following input...
<root>
<date1>2012-01-11T00:00:00.000-05:00</date1>
<date2>2012-01-15T00:00:00.000-05:00</date2>
</root>You can test this example here...

Hope this helps...

Hi
I try this query to find the difference between 2 date given in the below query.
But the query can't be execute..
Please try this query and give the correct one...
select to_date(to_char(LAST_DAY('2005/03/15')+1,'yyyy/mm/dd'),'yyyy/mm/dd') - to_date('2003/06/15','yyyy/mm/dd') No_days from dual
Thanks

try this
SELECT last_day(to_date('2005/03/15', 'yyyy/mm/dd') + 1) -

Difference between Dates: BW Query???

Hello all,
A.I have to get the difference between dates i.e Date1 and Date2.
I have used a 2 formula variables for each one of them with Replacement path - Key - number as the settings.
When i execute the difference between the 2 formula variables, i get inconsistent results if the dates are from 2 different months.
Example(Correct Result)
Date1 = 14.02.2005
Date2 = 10.02.2005
Result = 4
Example(Incorrect Result)???????
Date1 = 14.02.2005
Date2 = 10.01.2005
Result = 104
Iam know that system is converting the date as a number like 20040214 and 22040110 and just substracts.....This is not correct....any solution to circmvent this problem???
B.If iam using a user-exit for variables, how to pass the values Date1 and Date2 to user-exit so that i can calculate the difference of days using a function module.
I know how to use a user-exit but not sure about working on 2 fields at a time for a formula variable????

1) For the first problem, I think you should play with the replacement path settings (type, offset,...). I did this before and I'm sure it worked.
2) If the variables are entered in the variable screen there is no problem to use a function module (it works with steps --> look at the how-to), but I think you want to calculate not on variables but on the keyfigure values itself, in this case you will have to use virtual characteristics. There is also a how-to about this, I can't help you with the details my self.

Getting the difference between 2 dates

Hi,
I am creating a Date object (using today;s day, month and year. hours and minutes come from a config file) and getting the difference between this date and the current date and time.
My code is as follows:
I am passing 07:30 into the method as the parameter aSstart_time.
Calendar newCalendar = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.UK);
 SimpleDateFormat dtformat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy HH:mm");
 int lIYear = newCalendar.get(newCalendar.YEAR);
 int lIMonth = newCalendar.get(newCalendar.MONTH);
 int lIDay = newCalendar.get(newCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
 String lSstartHrs = aSstart_time.substring(0,aSstart_time.indexOf(":"));
 //System.out.println(">>>>>>>>> THE HOURS IS: " + lSstartHrs);
 String lSstartMins = aSstart_time.substring(aSstart_time.indexOf(":")+1,aSstart_time.length());
 //System.out.println(">>>>>>>>> THE MINS IS: " + lSstartMins);
 java.util.Date ldStartTime = new java.util.Date(lIYear,lIMonth,lIDay, Integer.parseInt(lSstartHrs),Integer.parseInt(lSstartMins));
 System.out.println("Year: " + lIYear);
 System.out.println("Month: " + lIMonth);
 System.out.println("Day: " + lIDay);
 System.out.println("Hour: " + Integer.parseInt(lSstartHrs));
 System.out.println("Min: " + Integer.parseInt(lSstartMins));
 System.out.println("The number of milliseconds for current time is: " + newCalendar.getTime().getTime());
 System.out.println("The number of milliseconds for 07:30 is: " + ldStartTime.getTime());
 System.out.println("calendar time: " + dtformat.format(newCalendar.getTime()).toString());
 System.out.println("created time: " + dtformat.format(ldStartTime).toString());
 if(newCalendar.getTime().getTime() < ldStartTime.getTime()){
 System.out.println("The current time is less than the config time (07:30)");
 else{
 System.out.println("The time is greater than 07:30");
 }When I run this program at 10:06am I get the following output:
Year: 2006
Month: 1
Day: 15
Hour: 7
Min: 30
The number of milliseconds for current time is: 1139997962321
The number of milliseconds for 07:30 is: 61098132600000
calendar time: 15-02-06 10:06
created time: 15-02-06 07:30
The current time is less than the config time (07:30)
The Date.gettime() method should measure the number of milliseconds after 01-01-1970 so the number of milliseconds for the current time (10:06am) should be greater than the number of milliseconds for 07:30. A you can see in the above output this is not the case.
Anybody have any idea why this is happening. Am I using the .gettime() method for the correct purpose.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It is beacause Calendar use fully defined year as parameter, so Calendar.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min) is (almost) equivalent to new Date(year, month, date, hrs, min)Example: int year = 85; // old way of specifying a year in a Date
 int month = 3;
 int date = 12;
 int hrs = 12;
 int min = 0;
 Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
 cal.set(year + 1900, month, date, hrs, min);
 Date d = new Date(year, month, date, hrs, min);
 System.out.println(d);
 System.out.println(cal.getTime());You will obtain the same date (except seconds and miliseconds in this case, as they probably won't be zero with Calendar.getInstance(); )

How to get the difference between two dates???

HI I have two dates and I want to test if there is an hour between them.
Is there a way to compare two dates like mySQL can with dateDiff(date1,date2);
Thanks alot.
Graham

This link is now out of date as they have revamped the structure. Yep. Here it is again: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=502686
I've also noticed that my comment regarding daylight saving was misleading. The demonstrated method for calculating difference between Dates is reliable. However, one needs to be careful when interpreting Dates in a daylight saving timezone.

Function module to get the difference of dates ..

Hi ,
Can somebody pls help me with the function module to get the difference between two dates?
I need to find the difference value and delete records if >1.
Thanks in advance.
Regds,
Leeza.

Leeza,
 When I tested the FM in my Program, it is working!!!!!
 Note that the Two Input Dates are to be in the format of DATS type (Eg: vimimv-dmibeg).
U can want the Day which u have specified in the parameter I_DATUM_BIS (eg: 20050101) to be included for
the calculation , then put X in the parameter I_KZ_INCL_BIS.
Sample Code :
report zkam01.
data:
sav_nlaufz like rf60v-nlaufz,
date1 type vimimv-dmibeg,
date2 type vimimv-dmiend.
date1 = '20050101'.
date2 = '20051001'.
call function 'MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES'
 exporting
 i_datum_von = date1
 i_datum_bis = date2
 i_kz_incl_bis = 'X'
 importing
 e_monate = sav_nlaufz.
write:
date1,
/ date2,
/ sav_nlaufz.
Please allot points if the problem is solved.
Thanks

Difference between Data Provider and extractor.

Hi
Can someone help me in understanding difference between data providers and data extractor.
I have gone through some documents but not able to get the exact difference between them.
What is the exact role of data provider and extractor with respect to sap solution manager.
Is data provider== Data extractor?
Thanks,
Vijay

Hello Vijaya,
From my perspective the Data Providers are responsible for collecting metric values from the monitored objects on the managed sources systems and sending these to the Solution Manager Monitoring and Alerting Infrastrucure.
Data extractors on the other hand are the reporting objects which are defined on the BW part of Solution Manager and can be enabled by configuring some monitoring scenario's. Once these data extractors are enabled, they will use the data from the "Data Providers" (see above) to setup nice BW reportings on the Solution Manager monitoring dashboards.
I hope this answer helps you.

What is difference between data base structure and stucure in program

what is difference between data base structure and stucure declared in program level . can explain cleary if knows

Hi,
Data base structure is global decalaration you can reffer this structure in any of your developments, when ever you cahange this structure the changes automatically will get updated in all the programs.
coming to structures in program it is local to your program only, if you want to change the structure again you have to open the program and do the necessary changes.

Date difference between Requsition apporval and Po approval in Oracle apps

My requirement is that l need to get the number of date difference between requisition apporval date(requisition) and po approval date (purchase) excluding holidays how to do it ?
Thanks in advance..

One PO could be generated from multiple requisitions. In that case, which requisition would you like to consider?
One requisition could be converted into multiple POs. In that case, which PO would you like to consider?
Assuming, there is a one-to-one relationship between your POs and requisitions:
Link a PO to the corresponding requisition by joining po_distributions_all.req_distribution_id with po_req_distributions_all.requisition_id
Once you have found the 2 records, get the approved_date from po_headers_all and po_requisition_headers_all
Then go to bom_calendar_dates for those dates and find the difference between seq_num. That is what you are looking for.

Find difference between date

I need to know how i can find difference between date
like Joining date: 01-jan-2009 Today 10-jan-2010 result will be "1 year 10 days"
I need it in Oracle forms 6i. plz help me...

Hi,
In oracle forms you can use
RESULT :=
TRUNC ((:date2 - :date1 + 1) / 365)
|| ' year and '
|| MOD (:date2 - :date1 + 1, 365)
|| ' days';
in sql you can use
SELECT TRUNC ((:date2 - :date1 + 1) / 365)
|| ' year and '
|| MOD (:date2 - :date1 + 1, 365)
|| ' days'
FROM DUAL;

Counter KF with 1 & 0 and difference between data type NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4)

Hi,
I need to create a counter kf which should populate 1 and 0 to this counter field. Please let me know is there any difference between data type
NUMBER (DEC) and INTEGER (INT4).
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Pavan kumar

Hi Pavan,
The basic difference between Number(DEC) and INT4 is its internal storage in system.
For Number (DEC) - Value internally stored as packed number with 3 decimal places whereas INT 4 as 4 byte integer without decimal places.
For counter KF, you can go for INT 4.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Difference between data selection period and personal seletion period

Hi
Experts ,
ples Expline ,
Difference between data selection period and personal seletion period. to Data screening .

Data selection period means
For example if u given any period,
here we are checking whether data is valid in this period.
Personal selection period means
we are checking whether person is valid in a given period.
Example is:
For example if the employee resigned in a company on 15th of month.
He can get the salary only at the end of month it means his data is avilable upto end of month.
But when you consider his status from 16th to end of month
the person is not available.
So when u given date(16th to end of month) in data selection period is showing that person data is avilable.
But when mention that date in person selection period it is showing no person is avilable.
if useful
reward with points............
