COPF_DETERMINE_DURATION

Functionality

You use this function module to calculate the duration of time intervals. The calculation is carried out on the basis of the valid calendar, that is, public holidays and weekends are not indcluded in the duration.

In the function call, you transfer the following information to the function module:

• The start date of the time interval (parameter I_START_DATE)

• The start time of the time interval (parameter I_START_TIME)

• The end time of the time interval (parameter I_END_TIME)

• The time unit of the duration if it is not to be calculated in days (parameter I_UNIT_OF_DURATION)

• A factory calendar if you do not want to use the Gregorian calendar (parameter I_FACTORY_CALENDAR)

Using these parameters, the function module calculates the duration and transfers it to the PI sheet in the time unit you have specified (parameter E_DURATION).
