Dont you think you can write a simple ABAP code to do this instead of searching for a function module?

hi,

I don't think there is any requirement for any FM for this.

You can take the sy-datum and extract the year. Then subtract 1, 2 and 3 from it will give the last three years.

sy-datum+0(4) will give the current year.

at first you need a proper definition what the last three years means.

If i give you todys date 04/15/2011 what do you expect ? 05/14/2008 - 04/15/2011 ? or just 05/14/2008

or maybe really calculated 1096) days back? Do you need a interval or all the days between then and now or what exactly do you need?

Once you know that you will have done a short abap within 5 minutes which does what you need.
