I have a small logic issue in my fex file where i need to get the month end date of a particular month, then have to find out difference between the above obtained month end date and one more date value

some thing like this

DateDiff("d",,[issues_inc_org_target_date]) < -31

and can someone post the correct syntax of DATEDIF function which returns the difference in number of days.

You can look up the syntax for the DATEDIF (notice only one F) in the Using Functions manual.

You can use DATEMOV to adjust your date to month end. Or you can use Smartdate manipulation to do the same thing.

is there any reason you can't use the help file to find this out?

no matter how simple your question is you'll always get an answer here but is it worth the wait when you can fire up the help file, enter the fucntion name in the search and read the articles that come up about it?

you don't even need the documentation for alot of basic WF functions, the info is literally right in front of you

just trying to help you help yourself...

And if you use a text editor like EditPlus, you can have the correct function syntax automatically inserted into the code as soon as you type the function name - something Developer Studio text editor still cannot do.

The solution depends also on the input field.

If that is a smartdate field that is somewhere in the database the DATEMOV works direct and very easy.
If it is something you key in from a prompted field like AUG or SEP or 11 or 7 you have to use some extra formulas.

There is a great book that explains this all.
