Issue 2427:  Add interfaces to DTime properly handle the DAmountOfTime difference inter (currency-rtf)
Source:  (, )
Nature:  Revision
Severity: 
Summary: Summary: DAmountOfTime difference(in DTime anotherTime) does not support an
 implementation properly as the difference between two points in time is a
 DamountOfTime instance and DamountOfTime represents an “absolute (positive)
 amount of time”. Thus, either DamountOfTime must be able to represent an
 amount of time that is less than zero, or the following interfaces must be
 available.
 ·    Propose the following additional interfaces:
         boolean equal(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
         void setEqual(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
         boolean less(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
         boolean lessEqual(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
         boolean greater(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
         boolean greaterEqual(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);

Issue Title:  Add interfaces to DTime properly handle the
DAmountOfTime
difference interface
Issue Type: IDL Revision
Issue Description:
DAmountOfTime difference(in DTime anotherTime) does not support an
implementation properly as the difference between two points in time
is a
DamountOfTime instance and DamountOfTime represents an amount of
tiem. Thus, either DamountOfTime must be able to represent an
amount of time that is less than zero, or the following interfaces
must be
available.
7    Propose the following additional interfaces:
        boolean equal(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
        void setEqual(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
        boolean less(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
        boolean lessEqual(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
        boolean greater(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
        boolean greaterEqual(in CBO::Dtime otherObject);
