D1          substr(digits(s1busdat),2,2)||'/'
            ||substr(digits(s1busdat),4,2)||'
            /'||substr(digits(s1busdat),6,2)
D2          substr(digits(s2busdat),2,2)||'/'
            ||substr(digits(s2busdat),4,2)||'
            /'||substr(digits(s2busdat),6,2)
DAYSDIFF    days(date(d2)) -
