Re: how to compare dates

[Rick_Creel@AONCONS.COM]

Why not use the  DATETOSTR function:

   let $quarter = datetostr($docdate,'Q')

Using the Q mask will return the quarter of the year (1 thru 4) that the
$docdate belongs in

Thanks for the code sample but I am comparing four quarters.

 If docdate is between date 1 and date 2 let quarter = 1
else if
      "                                        "
so on

I was wondering if there is a reserved word I could use or something. I
already tried using the code below and it didn't work. Hope you can help.
Thanks for the quick reply I appreciate it.

($doc_date >= '01/01' AND
 $doc_date <= '04/30'
 let $quarter = 1)
