Of course it can be solved.
Just add a enough options (appr. 255?) to the procedure to make it
behave just like the caller wants.
Do I want to do that? No. ;-)
The fun part for me is the fact that a seemingly simple question,
where at first glance you would think "I'll just implement that", can
lead to so many "problems".
I added a modified version of your implementation to the DateUtils unit as:
Procedure PeriodBetween(Const ANow, AThen: TDateTime; Out Years, months, days :
Word);
I chose this name because it is more in line with the existing XXXBetween
functions.
I did change the algorithm so it does not do the correction for february of the
leap year.
It returns now the same results as the Jedi function. (which I didn't take for
license reasons)
Thanks for providing an implementation.
Michael.
