I apologize for using the word "ugly" <insert excuse here>.
Rather, your code is elegant in that it really could not be reduced
further without one helluva lot of work, as the 2016 approach suggests.
I should have remembered my 9th grade geometry final, where, confronted
with a jungular tangle of lines, I brute-forced my way to QED through
thisHere angle equals thatThere angle in 23 steps. Thought I was all
that.
The girl next to me reached QED in three.
As to being more versed ... doubtful.
Best, Bruce

Hi, Bruce -
Thanks for your time and response. I spent an inordinate amount of time
and effort to create a working formula, and thought there must be an
easier way. I had in mind a function similar to DATEDIF in Excel.
Glad to have the opinion of someone more versed in R:Base than I am. I
will use it - as is - in all its ugliness, since it works.
Cheers,

worth. So, ugly it may be; but if it works ...
Alternately, from the list in 2016:
CLEAR VAR v%
CLS
SET VAR vBegDATE DATE = NULL
SET VAR vEndDATE DATE = NULL
SET VAR vBegTIME TIME = NULL
SET VAR vEndTIME TIME = NULL
SET VAR vBegDATE = (RDATE(4,21,2016))
SET VAR vEndDATE = (RDATE(4,27,2016))
SET VAR vBegTIME = (RTIME(10,20,0))
SET VAR vEndTIME = (RTIME(14,15,0))
SET VAR vBegDATETIME = (DATETIME(.vBegDATE, .vBegTIME ))
SET VAR vEndDATETIME = (DATETIME(.vEndDATE, .vEndTIME ))
SET VAR vElapsed_MIN = ((.vEndDATETIME - .vBegDATETIME)/60)
SET VAR vElapsed_HR = (ROUND((.vElapsed_MIN/60),3))
SET VAR vElapsed_DAY = (ROUND((.vElapsed_HR/24),3))
SHOW VARIABLES V%
RETURN
Maybe there's some gold there.

Subject [RBASE-L] - Calculating Age in Years, Months
Hello All -
I am wondering if there is a more elegant way to find the difference
between two days expressed as Years, Months, than what I have been
using, below, which produces the results nny nnM, but seems clumsy:
(CTXT(INT((DOD - DOB)/365.25))+'Y')&(CTXT(INT(MOD(DOD -
DOB,365.25)/30.44))+'M')
Where 'DOD'=Date of Death, 'DOB'=Date of Birth, 365.25=number of days
in a year, and 30.44=number of days in a month.
Seems to me this should be a commonly needed calculation.
