Overview
The SubtractDates function subtracts two date (and time) values and returns the difference in whole days.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
int = SubtractDates ( string a, string b );
Parameters
a b
string values in ISO-8601 format. The format need not contain the time.
Return Value
Returns an int as the number of whole days or a formatted error code on failure. The lower nybble of the error code specifies if a syntax error is in a or b.
Remarks
The SubtractDates function takes the date a, subtracts the date b from it, and returns the number of days different. If time values are provided, they are counted as part of the date. Therefore, subtracting 2015-02-02T12:30 from 2015-02-03T11:30 will result in 0 days. Subtracting 2015-02-02T12:30 from 2015-02-03T11:30 will result in 1 day.
The SubtractDates function will count the leap years and days of months to make its adjustments. The source dates must be later than January 1, 1601.
