Archana,

If you are executing the code after SQL statement, no change is required (just to ensure i get it right).

For using inside load, datediff(a,b) can be replaced with a-b (or b-a) appropriatly. All data transfomations in QV can be treated as numeric transformations hence arthemetic operations hold good.

getdate can be replaced with

today()

transaction_date between date1 and date2 can be

transaction_date > date1 and transaction_date < date2

If you are using BETWEEN in a join, QlikView does not have the ability to join result sets (tables) on anything except named columns matching exact values.

The exception is IntervalMatch, which is probabaly what you want to use. Search this forum for IntervalMatch Example to see some good examples of how to use it. My favorite is here:
