Dynamics Ax 2012 : Number of months between two dates

Recently I got small problem to calculate no of months between two dates. Dynamics Ax 2012 provides a default function which calculates no of intervals between two dates based on enumeration.

int intvNo(date input_date, date ref_date, int func)

You can use it as

noOfIntervals = intvNo(refDate, inputDate, intvScale::Month);

intvScale enumation have two values for months

• Month
• YearMonth

If we provide the intvScale::Month then X++ ignores the year and assumes that month is calculated within one year.

If we provide the intvScale::YearMonth then X++ calculate the number of months between different years. Consider following example.

static void NumberofMonthsbetweenTwodates(Args _args)

{

date inputDate = str2Date("1/1/2007", 213);

date refDate = str2Date("3/1/2009", 213);

int noOfMonths,noOfMonthsBetweenYears;

;

noOfMonths = intvNo(refDate, inputDate, intvScale::Month);

noOfMonthsBetweenYears = intvNo(refDate, inputDate, intvScale::YearMonth);

//  noOfMonths= intvNo(firstdate,seconddate,IntvScale::Month);

print("noOfMonths  :"+int2str(noOfMonths) + "  ,noOfMonthsBetweenYears  :"+int2str(noOfMonthsBetweenYears));

}

Info box will be return like

noOfMonths  :2  ,noOfMonthsBetweenYears  :26

Some cases above code did not works then used following

 InfAdjValidation_MX::monthDifference(FromDate _fromDate, ToDate _toDate)

Example is as follow.

FromDate _fromDate = mkDate(1,1,2018);
ToDate _toDate =mkDate(31,1,2018);
info(int2str( InfAdjValidation_MX::monthDifference( fromDate, toDate)));
