Thanks Greg; this works but why?
My two var's should have worked as well; I'm stumped!

This seems to work
calc datebuild(06,12,28) - datebuild(70,01,01)
13510, $34C6, %32306, "..4."
setvar x1 datebuild(06,12,28) - datebuild(70,01,01)
showvar x1
X1 = 13510

Subject: [HP3000-L] Vesoft date calculation issue
I'm trying to take a date that is entered as a string value then convert
it to a date and subtract that date from another date that was created
using datebuild. When I attempt to subtract one from the other I keep
getting an error. I've searched the archives and can't find anything on
this.
Can someone set me straight.
Here's what I've tried (inside of MPEX):
%SETVAR D1 DATEBUILD(70,01,01)
%SETVAR D2 DATEBUILD(06,12,28)
%CALC !D2-!D1
Processing 06/12/28-70/01/01
^
Error: Expected date in MM/DD/YY format, not 70/01/01
Thanks for your input.
