Its been a while since I've been in BI...this maybe very simple..

I need to do an if statement in a fex:

TABLE XXXX
PRINT YYY
ZZZ
.
.
.

IF the CURRENTMONTHNBR = '07' THEN GOTO JulyReportSelection
ELSE GOTO RegularReportSelection.


-JulyReportSelection
WHERE xxx = cccccccccccccccc
-GOTO CONTINUE

-RegularReportSelection
WHERE xxx = nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
- GOTO _CONTINUE

-CONTINUE
.
.
.
END

This code essentially just directs to the appropriate WHERE statement for the month...

I seem to recall &YYMD but am unsure how to grab the month from it and incorporate it in this context...

And why not, once you have your month as per Tom suggested, perform as following to avoid GOTOs and embedded DM into Focus code ?
-SET &WHERECOND = IF &DATEM EQ '07' THEN 'WHERE COUNTRY EQ ''FRANCE''' ELSE 'WHERE COUNTRY NE ''FRANCE''';

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
&WHERECOND
END

Much more less coding

What about
WHERE (CURRENTMONTHNBR EQ '07' AND xxx = cccccccccccccccc)
   OR (CURRENTMONTHNBR NE '07' AND xxx = nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn);

Good option Wep when the need is to have both conditions evaluated but not if it's as per a GOTO when only one of the conditions must be applied.
