code for creating Routine

[vikramk]

Hi,

I have scenario where I have to get date difference between start date and end date, and there is a string column with Segment where I will get two values ex: xyz, zxy, and if the segment is xyz then the date difference should exclude sunday, saturday and if the segment value is zxy then it should exclude only sunday. Can any one help with the code in creating a routine for this

Hi,

    You cannot calculate the week day date difference with standard Talend date functions. You will have to create a custom routine and do a routine call from other Talend components.

    There are lot of solutions to identify the weekday count in stack overflow and you can use one of the methods provided from there.

Below is the code for DateDiff excluding Saturday and Sunday, works fine for my requirement

public class days {

static int day_of_week;
public static int getNumberOfDaysWorked(java.util.Date beginDate,java.util.Date endDate){
int val = 0;
while (beginDate.before(endDate)){
day_of_week=TalendDate.getPartOfDate("DAY_OF_WEEK", beginDate);
if(day_of_week != 1 && day_of_week != 7){// 1 is for Sunday and 7 is for Saturday
val = val+1;
}
beginDate = TalendDate.addDate(beginDate, 1, "dd");
}
return val;
}
}
