[Date->Difference] determines the duration time between two Lasso dates.
The first parameter is a Lasso date data type that has been cast using the [Date] tag. The second parameter is a later Lasso date data type that has been cast using the [Date] tag. The second parameter is subtracted from the first and the output is a Lasso duration in hh:mm:ss format.
Optional parameters may be used to ouput a specified integer time value instead of a duration:
[(Date)->Difference:(Date)]
[(Date)->(Difference:(Date),
[(Date)->(Difference:(Date),
[(Date)->(Difference:(Date),
[(Date)->(Difference:(Date),
[(Date)->(Difference:(Date),
[(Date)->(Difference:(Date),
[(Date)->(Difference:(Date),
[(Date)->(Difference:(Date),
| Optional Parameters | |
|---|---|
| -Millisecond | Outputs an integer number of milliseconds between two dates. |
| -Second | Outputs an integer number of seconds between two dates. |
| -Minute | Outputs an integer number of minutes between two dates. |
| -Hour | Outputs an integer number of hours between two dates. |
| -Week | Outputs an integer number of weeks between two dates. |
| -Month | Outputs an integer number of months between two dates. |
| -Year | Outputs an integer number of years between two dates. |

To determine the duration between two dates:
The following examples show how to calculate the time difference between two dates and return a duration.
[Var: 'MyDate'=(Date:'5/22/2002')]
[$MyDate->(Difference: (Date: '5/15/2002 01:30:00'))]
