Comments: To: chwu@NONAME.AMERICAN.EDU

Try INTCK('MONTH',fromdate,todate);  This will count changes in the calendar
month between the two dates.  INTCK('MONTH','01JAN95'D,'28FEB95'D) is 1 as is
INTCHK('MONTH','31JAN95'D,'01FEB95'D);
 
INTCK also got some new interval values in 6.08 (see P-222).

 I had a difficulty to calculate the number of months from two different
dates.
