WithinPastMonths

Check whether two TDateTimes are only a number of months apart.

Declaration

Source position: dateutil.inc line 266

function WithinPastMonths(

  const ANow: TDateTime;

  const AThen: TDateTime;

  const AMonths: Integer

):Boolean;

Arguments

ANow

  

First moment in time.

AThen

  

Second moment in time.

AMonths

  

Number of months to check.

Function result

True if ANow and Athen are only AMonths apart, false otherwise.

Description

WithinPastMonths compares the timestamps ANow and AThen and returns True if the difference between them is at most AMonths months apart, or False if they are further apart.

Remark: Since this function uses the MonthsBetween function to calculate the difference in Months, this means that fractional months do not count, and the fractional part is simply dropped, so for two dates actually 2 and a half months apart, the result will also be True
