Hi.. Looks like you are passing an incorrect Output Format.. If you pass 08.. it gives you the months between..

thx,

but i tried that too i am pasting my code here

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_HK_DIFF_BT_2_DATES'

EXPORTING

DATE1 = t_dates-high <----

---

20071101

DATE2 = t_dates-low <----

---

20070630

OUTPUT_FORMAT = '08'

IMPORTING

• YEARS =

MONTHS = w_months

• DAYS =

EXCEPTIONS

INVALID_DATES_SPECIFIED = 1

OTHERS = 2

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

i think this could help to sort it out

You can use the FM MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES_NEW.

The date format is wrong:

It should be 11/01/2007 and 06/30/2007

You have to pass a date like:

data: l_st_date like sy-datum,

l_end_Date like sy-datum.

data: l_your_date(7) type c value '11.2007'.

l_st_date0(4) = l_your_date3(4).

l_st_date4(2) = l_your_date0(2).

l_st_date+6(2) = '01'.

l_end_date0(4) = l_your_date3(4).

l_end_date4(2) = l_your_date0(2).

l_end_date+6(2) = '31'.

Here is the code:

report ztesttej13.

parameters: p_date(10),

p_date1(10).

data: v_date like p0001-begda,

v_date1 like p0001-endda,

v_months like P0347-SCRMM.

v_date = p_date.

v_date1 = p_date1.

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_HK_DIFF_BT_2_DATES'

EXPORTING

DATE1 = v_date

DATE2 = v_date1

OUTPUT_FORMAT = '08'

IMPORTING

• YEARS =

MONTHS = v_months

• DAYS =

EXCEPTIONS

INVALID_DATES_SPECIFIED = 1

OTHERS = 2

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

ENDIF.

write: v_months.

And I am passing 20071101 to P_date and 20070601 to p_date1.

I am thinking the way you defined your date parameters may be wrong.
