Mr Fritzinger,
20010526 is my 30th birthday.
To solve your problem, use 'date objects'. Check out date() in the
online help. If I insert your dates in the example from the Help
myBirthDay = date(20010415)
yourBirthDay = date(20010526)
put "There are" && abs(yourBirthday - myBirthday)/ 7 && "weeks
between our birthdays."
I get
-- "There are 5 weeks between our birthdays."

>Greetings,
