# WithinPastWeeks

**WithinPastWeeks** indicates **True** if two **TDateTime** values are within the specified **AWeeks** number of weeks of each other.

**WithinPastWeeks** is used to determine whether the date specified by **ANow** is within **AWeeks** weeks of the date specified by **AThen**.

Fractional weeks do not count, so if **ANow** and **AThen** are two and a half weeks apart, calling **WithinPastWeeks** with **AWeeks** set to 2, returns **True**.

**Declaration**: function WithinPastWeeks(const ANow, AThen: TDateTime; const AWeeks: Integer): Boolean;

An example follows.

```pascal
procedure OnMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
var
  TheDate, ThatDate : TDateTime;
begin
 //The IF is False as more than 2 weeks
  TheDate := EncodeDateTime(2023, 11, 30, 13, 25, 15, 650);
  ThatDate := EncodeDateTime(2023, 10, 29, 13, 25, 15, 650);
 If WithinPastWeeks(ThatDate, TheDate, 2) then
    LogInfo('The difference between the two dates is less than 2 weeks')
 else
    LogInfo('The difference between the two dates is more than 2 weeks');
end;
```
