I have a YYMD field and from that, I need to retrieve data for this month plus the last 2 months, starting from the first of the month. Calculating 90 days won't get it.

So, for today, 2-15-2011 I would want all data from 12-1-2010 until 2-15-2011.

I'm not even sure where to start on this.

Thanks,
Carl

Calculate your dates. Then do a selection between TWO_PRIOR_MO AND TODAY
 
DEFINE FILE CAR
TODAY/MDYY WITH CAR = '&DATEMDYY';
BEG_CUR_MO/MDYY=DATEMOV(TODAY,'BOM');
END_CUR_MO/MDYY=DATEMOV(TODAY,'EOM');
TWO_PRIOR_MO/MDYY=DATEADD(BEG_CUR_MO,'M',-2);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
TODAY BEG_CUR_MO
END_CUR_MO
TWO_PRIOR_MO
END
