see this thread:

Is a function similiar to Jedi's DateDiff part of Freepascal now?

As i remember Michael van Canneyt wanted to implement that to Pascal 3.0??

That's Jedi's version:

procedure DateDiff(Date1, Date2: TDateTime; var Days, Months, Years: word);
var
   DtSwap: TDateTime;
   Day1, Day2, Month1, Month2, Year1, Year2: word;
begin
   if Date1 > Date2 then
   begin
     DtSwap := Date1;
     Date1 := Date2;
     Date2 := DtSwap;
   end;
   DecodeDate(Date1, Year1, Month1, Day1);
   DecodeDate(Date2, Year2, Month2, Day2);
   Years := Year2 - Year1;
   Months := 0;
   Days := 0;
   if Month2 < Month1 then
   begin
     Inc(Months, 12);
     Dec(Years);
   end;
   Inc(Months, Month2 - Month1);
   if Day2 < Day1 then
   begin
     // von mir auskommentiert Inc(Days, DaysPerMonth(Year1, Month1));
     Inc(Days, DaysInAMonth(Year1, Month1));
     if Months = 0 then
     begin
       Dec(Years);
       Months := 11;
     end
     else
       Dec(Months);
   end;
   Inc(Days, Day2 - Day1);
end;
