[Date->Difference]
[Date->Difference] determines the duration time between two Lasso dates.
The first parameter is a Lasso date data type that has been cast using the [Date] tag. The second parameter is a later Lasso date data type that has been cast using the [Date] tag. The second parameter is subtracted from the first and the output is a Lasso duration in hh:mm:ss format.
Optional parameters may be used to ouput a specified integer time value instead of a duration: -Millisecond, -Second, -Minute, -Hour, -Day, -Week, -Month, -Year. Lasso rounds to the nearest integer when using these optional parameters.
