I could do this but thought that there might be an easier way i was looking
at something like :

                  <xsl:variable name="date-diff2"
select="op:subtract-dateTimes-yielding-dayTimeDuration
(xs:dateTime(saxon:evaluate($idxSettleDate))
,xs:dateTime(xs:date(sgfr:StringToDateFormat($todays-date)   ) ) )"/>

but cant get it to work.

Do you think I should go down the julian route or is there a better way?

Regards,

I

Maybe you could use
http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/date-time.html#template.dt:calculate-julian-day

It takes the three parameters day, month and year and returns the Julian
Day as a decimal number which you could use to calculate
the difference between to dates.
