Customizing Customer Statement Template to Calculate Date Differences in NetSuite

This task involves customizing the standard customer statement template in NetSuite to calculate the difference in days between two dates for an advanced PDF template. The goal is to map a field description that categorizes the difference between the date and the due date into ranges like 1 to 30 days, 31 to 60 days, 61 to 90 days, etc. I’ve tried the following code in the advanced PDF template:

<#– Define the date format –>

<#assign date_format = “yyyy-MM-dd”/>

<#assign daysDifference = 0 />

${line.datecol}gg${line.duedate}

<#if (line.datecol?has_content && line.duedate?has_content)>

<#-- Convert the date strings to date objects -->
<#assign datecol = line.datecol?string(date_format)?date />
<#assign duedate = line.duedate?string(date_format)?date />
Converted Dates: ${datecol} and ${duedate}

<#-- Calculate the difference in milliseconds -->
<#assign diffInMilliseconds = duedate?long - datecol?long />
<#-- Calculate the difference in days -->
<#assign diffInDays = (diffInMilliseconds / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24))?int />

<#-- Assign the difference to a variable -->
<#assign daysDifference = diffInDays?int />

<#else>

<#– Assign a default value if dates are not present –>

<#assign daysDifference = “N/A” />

</#if>

Difference in days: ${daysDifference}

However, the <#if (line.datecol?has_content && line.duedate?has_content)> condition doesn’t seem to work.
