Description


The DDAYS command returns the number of days between two dates; if Rdate1 is chronologically later than Rdate2 the result is negative. The dates are expressed by a real number and its format depends on the state of flag -42:

  • if the flag -42 is set the date is expressed as DD.MMYYYY;
  • if the flag -42 is cleared the date is expressed as MM.DDYYYY.

where:

  • DD is the day;
  • MM is the month;
  • YYYY is the year.

The range of allowable dates is October 15, 1582 to December 31, 9999.

DDAYS is fully equivalent to its userRPL counterpart.
