Calculate date differences

[Charlie Bursell]

Several have ask for a means to calculate date differences such as DOB in Years, months and days.  I have enclosed a proc to do that.  You can source this proc in a another proc or in Xlate like “source  $::HciSiteDir/scripts/dateDiff (Assumes stored in scripts directory.  Or you add it to a package and simply “package require”  FWIW, I have always had a package called myLib where I kept my own little functions.

From the proc comments:

# Name: dateDiff
# Args: startDate (Could be DOB) required
# endDate (Optional) Defaults to today’s date. Must be greater than startDate
#
# Returns: Elapsed YEARS, MONTHS and DAYS as a list
#
# Usage examples:
#              lassign [dateDiff 20230115} yrs mos dys
#             set variables to elapsed Years, Months, Days since 20230115
#
#             lassign [dateDiff 20230115} yrs mos dys
#            set variables to elapsed Years, Months, Days since 20230115
#           to today’s date
#
#           lassign [dateDiff 20230115 20230416} yrs mos dys
#          set variables to elapsed Years, Months, Days between 20230115
#          and 20230115
