Overview
The SubtractDuration function subtracts an ISO duration string from an ISO-8601 formatted date/time and returns an ISO-8601 date/time..
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
string = SubtractDuration ( string value, string bias );
Parameters
value
A string in ISO-8601 format. The format need not contain the time.
bias
An string containing a formatted ISO duration such as P1D or P1Y1M.
Return Value
Returns a string as an adjusted ISO-8601 date or an empty string on failure. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve a formatted error code. The most common error is a format or syntax error in the source value parameter.
Remarks
The SubtractDuration applies the date/time adjustment in two modes: (1) values of days or lesser fraction are added via seconds math while (2) months and years are added a whole units. As such adding P90D is not the same as subtracting P1M. The value 90 days is not exactly three months.
When subtracting months, if the day of the month is at the end of the month, the last day of the month will be adjusted accordingly. For example, P3M on 06-30 will result in 03-31, not 03-30.
