1. Adjust D1 and D2 according to the fol-
lowing rules:
(1) If D2 and D1 are both the last day of
February, change D2 to 30.
(2) If D1 is the last day of February,
change D1 to 30.
(3) If D2 is 31 and D1 is 30 or 31, change
D2 to 30.
(4) If D1 is 31, change D1 to 30.
2. Calculate using the following formula:
DAYS = (Y2 – Y1)
×
360 + (M2 – M1)
×
30 + (D2 – D1)
