Convert MJD date range to number of days elapsed in IDL [message #93661]

I'm trying to figure out if there's some way I can take a range of MJD values and convert them into number of days elapsed over that range so I can normalize a plot of two supernova and their absolute magnitudes over time in IDL. Is there a simple conversion for this I'm not seeing or do I need to tediously convert every value to determine the number of days to use for my x-axis?

Note: I do not wish to convert to the date, but the actually number of days elapsed as to normalize my two plots for comparison.

Thanks!
