How to calculate period between date/time?

All,
I have not been able to find any function module that does this.
I have a create date/time from a table (VBAK).
I need to calculate the difference in days/hours/minutes (seconds not needed) between the date in this table and the current date/time.
Then based on the result - e.g. difference is say 2 days 3 hours and 50 minutes - I will compare to a comfigured period users input to determine record selection.
I can get date difference - SAP handles that - but the hours and minutes are a different story.
Thanks.

No Matters if problem solved by own. Surely Posting a solution would help others needed person in future .

Calculate difference between two dates/times

Hi all,
Is there any function module to calculate difference between two dates/times which are in TIMESTAMPL format.
I need to know how many millisconde(second,minutes, hours... )there is between these two times.
Please, It is urgent
Thank you all.
Karim

hi,
try the following function
CALL FUNCTION 'CCU_TIMESTAMP_DIFFERENCE'
      EXPORTING
           timestamp1 = timestamp1
           timestamp2 = timestamp2
      IMPORTING
           difference = diff
      EXCEPTIONS
           OTHERS     = 1.
the above function gives the difference in seconds...
try the following code to set the resolution to milliseconds..
SET RUN TIME CLOCK RESOLUTION LOW
check the thread for details:
SET RUN TIME CLOCK RESOLUTION?
all the best!!!

Need Help to calculate difference between times

Hello everyone,
I have two fields which just stores the time in 24 hour format ex: 08:00 and 20:00 now I want to calculate difference between the two times
Kindle help me
Thanks for your help
Thanks
Ravi

Are your fields of varchar2 datatype or...?
Is 08:00 the start time or 20:00?
Date arithmetic is pretty simple in Oracle if you use the right datatype.
See:

Assuming you are storing strings:
SQL> -- generating sample data:
SQL> with t as (
2 select '08:00' btime, '20:00' etime from dual
3 )
4 --
5 -- actual query:
6 --
7 select numtodsinterval(to_date(etime, 'hh24:mi') - to_date(btime, 'hh24:mi'), 'day') nti
8 ,      (to_date(etime, 'hh24:mi') - to_date(btime, 'hh24:mi'))*24 dt
9 from   t;
NTI                                                                                 DT

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.

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;

Difference between goods receiving hours & working hours

Hello,
What is the difference between
goods receiving hours at the unloading point of the goods recipient and
working hours at the shipping point?
May

The calendar and the goods receiving hours of the unloading point are relevant for the confirmed delivery date (delivery date LFDAT).
The calendar and the working hours of the shipping point are relevant for the calculation of all other dates (Material availability date MBDAT, transportation planning date TDDAT, loading date LDDAT and goods issue date WADAT).

Difference between Data-centric and Document-centric use

Hi,
Can someone suggest what exactly is the difference between Data-centric and Document-centric use and examples if any.
Thanks in advance.
Chaitanya

Maybe it helps if you look at it this way...
Document centric: document centric use of xml data is data that you always use in its complete form. If you want to use the data, then you always will retrieve it as one entity or you save it as one entity. You are not interested in the xml data / information inside this "package" / document, you are only interested in its total form. Lets say, you have an invoice which can be printed on one sheet of paper. This paper that contains you data, will always be treated in a document driven way, that is, in its total representation: information containted on a sheet of paper (document).
Data centric. data centric use of xml, is usage of data were the main interest point is focused on only pieces of the total set of xml data within a document. So instead of being interested in the whole invoice, you only are interested in information like "amount of money to be payed" or "invoicenumber".
Handling of XML data comes with (hidden) costs. Knowing how your data will be used, has to be used, is one of the first steps in designing you environment (and will have an big impact if you choose poorly). For instance, if you know that your data will always be handled (and must be stored) in a document driven way, then it will make sense to store it based on CLOB based XMLType storage. This will garantee best performance retrieval for your xml document. If you now that your xml data has to be stored so that it can be handled in a data centric way, then Object Relational XMLType storage. If conditions are setup properly data retrieval, inserts and updates will be more cost efficient then when based on CLOB XMLType storage.
There are more differences and "cost markers" when or when not to use CLOB, OR or for instance Binary XML. The first two chapters of the XMLDB Developers Guide for Oracle 11g will give you a good head start making some of those decisions. Be also aware that you probably will have to make compromises. The current state of XML, for example, doesn't have the final solution yet for a uniform storage method.

Difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration"

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me the difference between "Data replication", "Data Cloning", "Data duplication" and "Data Migration". I have gone through Google but doesn't find any appropriate answer for that where I can find the difference.
It would be highly appreciated if you give me a link for all and give me some point out.
Thanks & Regards
Nimai Karmakar

Here is how I see the terms used and understood by most folks
"Data replication"
This is the keeping the same data in sync in 2 different databases. Replication is the process of keeping data in sync between 2 environments/databases and not limited to Oracle to Oracle, it could be Oracle to MySQL to be kept in sync, MySQL to Oracle, Oracle to SQL Server, SQL Server to Oracle. The purpose of keeping data in sync can vary, but that is basic description of what it is.
"Data Cloning"
Make a copy of the data/database from one database environment to another, like for example taking production database and cloning the database to a pre-production database/environment for testing. Coning term is used more when copying a database not just data, but the whole database so typically you hear the reference "Database Cloning", but data cloning is basically the making a copy of the data from one place to another. Sometimes Cloning and Duplicating are used in the same way by folks as the basic end result is the same you are making a copy of the data to someplace else.
"Data duplication"
This is typically term when duplicating the data from one environment to another for a particular purpose, a lot of folks use "Data/Database Cloning" and "Data Duplication" in the same context, meaning they use them to mean the same thing, but I see more difference in the terms so when they are different Data Duplication is done when combining 2 databases to 1 therefore you can not clone the 2 databases into one so this term would be used more in those circumstances.
"Data Migration"
Moving data from one location/database to another location database, for example moving from MySQL to Oracle you would do a data migration from MySQL to Oracle as you are moving the data from MySQL to Oracle and going to leave it in Oracle. You could also be migrating to from Oracle 10g environment to a new Oracle 11g environment, therefore "Migration" is typically used when referring to moving the data from one environment to another and the source and target are different in location, database vendor, database version.
These are very simple ways of looking at the terms from my experience on how they are used.

Difference between Data Grid and Data Forms

Hi all,
What is the difference between data grid and data forms.

Data entry forms are pre defined and are generally used to manually input data into reporting (financial statement) schedules.
They can also be used for reviewing purposes and it gives users a presentable / and consistent format to view data in Hyperion.
Data grids are the equivalent of pivot tables in excel. It should be used for ad hoc purposes to view / analyse data in whatever form you choose. The user has the flexibility to choose what they see in the rows, columns and page dimensions.
One of the main differences between data entry forms and data grids is that you can’t export data grids to excel whereas you can with data entry forms. Other differences are:
1. Run consolidation, translation, promotion from data grids but not in data entry forms.
2. You can link other data entry forms to a data entry form
3. Data entry forms offer greater formatting options than in data grids i.e. colours, fonts, bold, italics.
At the end of the day, they are similar and there is no reason why you can’t have (use) both. It all depends on your local needs on how best you use both.
I hope above information helps.

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.
Reward if useful.

Difference between Data staging and Dimension Table ?

Difference between Data staging and Dimension Table ?

Data Staging:
Data extraction and transformation is done here.
Meaning that, if we have source data in flat file, we extract it and load into staging tables, we take care of nulls, we change datetime format etc.. and after such cleansing/transformation at then end, load it to Dim/Fact tables
Pros: Makes process simpler and easy and also we can keep track of data as we have data in staging
Cons: Staging tables need space hence need memory space
Dimension Table:
tables which describes/stores the attribute about specific objects
Below is star schema which has dimension storing information related to Product, Customer etc..
