Hi

U need to create a routine to calculate the difference:

/: DEFINE &DELTA& = SPACE

/: PERFORM <FORM NAME> IN PROGRAM <PROGRAN NAME>

/: USING &RF140-STIDA&

/: USING &BSIK-BLDAT&

/: CHANGING &DELTA&

• &DELTA&

The routine has to be defined in your Z-PROGRAM and to have these interface:

FORM <FORM NAME>  TABLES IN_TAB_EM     STRUCTURE ITCSY
                                                   OUT_TAB_EM STRUCTURE ITCSY.

  DATA: DELTA TYPE I.

  DATA: DATE1 LIKE SY-DATUM,
             DATE2 LIKE SY-DATUM.

* ---> Rembember the date has the ouput format, so it has to be converted in the 
* input format

  READ TABLE  IN_TAB_EM WITH KEY NAME = 'RF140-STIDA'.
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
     DATE1(4)     = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE+6(4).
     DATE1+4(2) = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE+3(2).
     DATE1+6(2) = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE(2).  
  ENDIF.

  READ TABLE  IN_TAB_EM WITH KEY NAME = 'BSIK-BLDAT'.
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
     DATE2(4)     = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE+6(4).
     DATE2+4(2) = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE+3(2).
     DATE2+6(2) = IN_TAB_EM-VALUE(2).  
  ENDIF.

  DELTA = DATE1 - DATE2.

  READ TABLE  OUT_TAB_EM WITH KEY NAME = 'DELTA'.
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
     WRITE DELTA TO OUT_TAB_EM-VALUE.
     MODIFY OUT_TAB_EM INDEX SY-TABIX.
  ENDIF.


ENDFORM.

Your variable is declared using command DEFINE, your calculation will need to be done in an ABAP subroutine and called using the PERFORM command (different from the regular ABAP command).

Online help has plenty on both of these commands.

Hi,

DEFINE is the keyword to declare the variables in the SAPSCRIPT.

/: DEFINE &symbol_name&

To get the diffrence, then you need to write the PERFORM in the SAPSCRIPT, and in the for do the diefference and pass the value to the script and print it
