Thanks for the advice!

I ended up tackling this a different way by using some functions included with the SDDateTime data structure:

struct Date {
  int d, m, y;
};

// This function returns number of
// days between two given dates
int getDifference(Date dt1, Date dt2)
{
  SCDateTime Date1;
  SCDateTime Date2;

  Date1.SetDateYMD(dt1.y, dt1.m, dt1.d);
  Date2.SetDateYMD(dt2.y, dt2.m, dt2.d);

  int iDifference = 0;
  for (iDifference; Date1 != Date2 && iDifference < 10000; iDifference++)
    Date1.AddDays(1);

  return(iDifference);
}

int GetWorkdayDifference(Date dt1, Date dt2)
{
  SCDateTime Date1;
  SCDateTime Date2;

  Date1.SetDateYMD(dt1.y, dt1.m, dt1.d);
  Date2.SetDateYMD(dt2.y, dt2.m, dt2.d);

  int iWDDifference = 0;
  for (int i = 0; Date1 != Date2 && i < 10000; i++)
  {
    Date1.AddDays(1);

    if (!Date1.IsWeekend())
      iWDDifference++;
  }
  
  return(iWDDifference);
}

I hope this helps someone else in the future! I recommend doing some testing to ensure it's working as intended.

I also needed the time difference, so I simply subtracted the current time from the end time.
