Purpose

There are instances in which date arithmetic is required to implement certain business rules. Siebel eScript provides several date functions that allow users to build custom functions, for example, to determine the difference between two dates.
 
This document presents a set of functions that can be used in scripts to implement more complex business rules. For more information on the methods used in these scripts, refer to Siebel Bookshelf 2018 > Siebel eScript Language Reference.
 
NOTE: Sample code provided in this document is provided only as a guideline, and not as a final product to be used in a production environment. The code is provided as a starting point from which actual scripts can be built, and is intended to show how some of the functions provided by eScript can be used to perform more complex tasks. Your final code should include validation of the input parameters, such as adjusting for daylight savings time, and error handling. For general scripting best practices, please refer to <Document 477766.1>.
