Rathindronath ,

Well since you have been asking alot of questions lately (which isnt
neccessarily a bad thing) its time to teach you to fish for yourself, go
look up the datepart function and then do the math.  If you are unsure about
whether you have written the code efficiecntly post your code back asking
for comments.

I  Have a dataset as follows:

    Patient    Discharge                Admission            Duration
    001      30Jul2005:22:43:00     13Jul20055:00:00:00         ?
    002      29Jul2005:22:43:00     12Jul20055:00:00:00         ?
    003      28Jul2005:22:43:00     10Jul20055:00:00:00         ?



Here Should be  Duration = (Admission - Discharge) + 1
  [Note: The variable Duration should be in Days}
Thanks a lot in advance.
