Re: LOOP Command

To illustrate my point:

data list free /fecha_up fecha_deliv (2adate10).
begin data
10/28/1986  7/08/2009
10/29/1987 7/08/2009
end data.

*This works.
COMPUTE DiasHabiles = 0.
LOOP # = Fecha_UP to Fecha_Deliv BY 86400.
If RANGE(XDATE.WKDAY(#),2,7) & ~ANY(#,
DATE.DMY(1,1,2009),
DATE.DMY(12,1,2009),
DATE.DMY(1,1,2008),
DATE.DMY(7,1,2008)
)
DiasHabiles = DiasHabiles + 1.
END LOOP.
EXECUTE .

ALTER TYPE  all (adate10=a10).

*This doesn't because dates are now actually strings.
COMPUTE DiasHabiles = 0.
LOOP # = Fecha_UP to Fecha_Deliv BY 86400.
If RANGE(XDATE.WKDAY(#),2,7) & ~ANY(#,
DATE.DMY(1,1,2009),
DATE.DMY(12,1,2009),
DATE.DMY(1,1,2008),
DATE.DMY(7,1,2008)
)
DiasHabiles = DiasHabiles + 1.
END LOOP.
EXECUTE .

Are you sure Fecha_UP and Fecha_Deliv are date format numeric variables, not string dates?

Dear Listers, i would appreciate your help to solve this problem.

I need to count  the labor days between two dates excluding some public
holidays.
This Sintax works fine with SPSS V16, but right now I Have Just V17 and does
not works.

COMPUTE DiasHabiles = 0.
LOOP # = Fecha_UP to Fecha_Deliv BY 86400.
If RANGE(XDATE.WKDAY(#),2,7) & ~ANY(#,
DATE.DMY(1,1,2009),
DATE.DMY(12,1,2009),
DATE.DMY(1,1,2008),
DATE.DMY(7,1,2008)
)
DiasHabiles = DiasHabiles + 1.
END LOOP.
EXECUTE .

Warnings…
LOOP The equals sign on the LOOP command must be followed by a numeric
expression.
LOOP The keyword TO on the LOOP command must be followed by a numeric
expression.
Error Messages:

All Ideas are wellcome, Thanks in advance,
