SUB_DATE_DATE

Subtract DATE from DATE

SUB_DATE_DATE subtracts a value of the data type DATE from another DATE value. The result is stored in the output variable of the data type TIME.

Parameters

Input

Unnamed input (DATE): 1st input: minuend
Unnamed input (DATE): 2nd input: subtrahend

Output

Unnamed output (TIME): Result

Remarks

The TIME result is only valid if the difference between the minuend and subtrahend is smaller than or equal to the maximum TIME duration allowed. Otherwise an overflow of the TIME result variable occurs and the CARRY flag is set.
