Days between two dates based on calendar

Early disclaimer... I am not a programmer. I have successfully (so far) snowed everyone I work with here, but make no claims amongst a group of actual professionals.

 

That said, could you create in ABL logic similar to:

 

NumberOfDays = EndDate - StartDate

 

Loop: for each ProdCalDay where ProdCalDay.ModifiedDay > StartDate AND ProdCalDay.ModifiedDay < EndDate

if ProdCalDay.WorkingDay = FALSE then OffDays = OffDays +1

 

CalculatedDays = NumberOfDays - OffDays

 

If this provides you with nothing but a good laugh, then my day is also complete...

Example:  “ PORel.PromiseDt – TODAY “ gives me the number of days until the promise date.

 

If needed, I could calculate the number of weeks between days, take into account what day of the week it is now, and could eventually get to the number of workdays.   A glorified version of “ PORel.PromiseDt – TODAY – trunc ((PORel.PromiseDt – TODAY) / 7 * 2) is a good approximation of the number of weekdays between the two days.

 

I just don’t know if anyone has some way of taking into account a calendar.

 

Thanks again.

Kevin,

 

Use the Production Calendar to set weekends and holidays as non-work days (if your company default production calendar shows weekends as WORKING days, just create a second one). I'm doing that in a couple of BPMs to reset Sales Order and Purchase Order dates... it will be a little hairier in a BAQ but should be doable.

For example, if I have a company calendar that has only M-F as work days, and then has the Thu-Fri off for Thanksgiving, if I want to calculate the days between 10/31/13 and 11/30/13, it would return 19 days (30 days, less 9 weekend days, less the two holidays)?


I’m trying to do this in a BAQ.

 

Thanks.
