Hi All,

I try to get the date difference and I want to populate a message if date difference is 0,
can anyone help me on this.

OPN -OPEN DATE
CLD - CLOSED DATE

DEFINE FILE
DIFF_DAYS9/D12 = HDIFF(OPN,CLD, 'DAY', 'D12');
DIFF_DAYS99/D12 = (DIFF_DAYS9 * -1);
DIFF_DAYS999/D12 = IF DIFF_DAYS99 EQ 0 THEN 'NO DATE' ELSE DIFF_DAYS99;
END
Thanks,
Edara

You're trying to put a string of 'NO DATE' into a Decimal. That's not going to work. Change the format to A20 and convert DIFF_DAYS99 to an Alpha using FTOA function.

You'll have to convert the DIFF_DAYS99 to an alpha so you can populate DIFF_DAYS999 with either 'NO DATE' or alpha version of DIFF_DAYS99. Look up the FUNCTION FTOA. You could also use EDIT(DIFF_DAYS99) but that'll fill it with 0's. So, 99 will look like 000099 which isn't what you'd want to show.

DEFINE FILE CAR
DIFF_MSG/A20=IF RCOST LT 7000 THEN 'LESS THAN 7000' ELSE FTOA(RCOST, '(D7)', 'A20');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT DIFF_MSG
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
END

still showing 0`s instead of text

DIFF_DAYS9/D12 = HDIFF(OPN,FDD, 'DAY', 'D12');
DIFF_DAYS99/D12 = (DIFF_DAYS9 * -1);
ALPHA_DAYS/A15 = FTOA(DIFF_DAYS99, '(D12.2)', ALPHA_DAYS);
DIFF_DAYS999/A15= IF ALPHA_DAYS EQ '.00' THEN 'NO DATE' ELSE ALPHA_DAYS;

Thanks

You don't need quotes around .00. Look at the updated code I provided.
