I was looking to determine the beginning and end of last week and used your suggetions to get this far:

All of your suggestions have been helpful. I have gotten this far:


-SET &TODAY = &YYMD;
-SET &LASTDT = &TODAY - 7;
-SET &LASTSUND = DATEMOV(&LASTDT, BOW);
-SET &LASTSAT = &LASTSUND +6;

-TYPE &TODAY
-TYPE &LASTDT
-TYPE &LASTSUND
-TYPE &LASTSAT

The above determinEs the current data, subtracts 7 days to get to last week, goes to the Beginning of last Week, and then determines 6 days after the beginning of last Week.

Now, I am looking to compare the &LASTSUND in YYMD format to the PRODDATE IN MDYY FORMAT. How can I change the format of the &LASTSUND FORMAT FROM YYMD TO MDYY?

-SET &TESTDATE1 = &YYMD;
-SET &TESTDATE2 = CHGDAT('YYMD', 'MDYY', &TESTDATE1, 'A8');

-TYPE &TESTDATE1 &TESTDATE2

The final solution:


-SET &TODAY = &YYMD;
-SET &LASTDT= &TODAY - 7;
-SET &LASTSUND = DATEMOV(&LASTDT, BOW);
-SET &LASTSAT = &LASTSUND +6;
-SET &STARTDATE = CHGDAT('YYMD', 'MDYY', &LASTSUND, 'A8');
-SET &ENDINGDATE = CHGDAT('YYMD', 'MDYY', &LASTSAT, 'A8');



DEFINE FILE OTISQA_INVENTORY_CURRENT_VW
BEGINDATE/MDYY=&STARTDATE;
ENDDATE/MDYY=&ENDINGDATE;

END

TABLE FILE OTISQA_INVENTORY_CURRENT_VW
PRINT
MILL_COIL_ID
PRODDATE
BEGINDATE
ENDDATE
-*WHERE ( PRODDATE GE BEGINDATE ) AND ( PRODDATE LE ENDDATE );
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
END

What you have so far will not work, for several reasons. Try it with today = July 4.

This will do it:

SET TESTDATE = 20070704
-RUN

-SET &_1NOW= &YYMD;
-SET &_2DOW= DOWK(&_1NOW,'A3');
-SET &_3DOW= DECODE &_2DOW(MON 1, TUE 2, WED 3, THU 4, FRI 5, SAT 6,
- ELSE 0);
-SET &_4SUN= AYMD(&_1NOW,-(7+&_3DOW), 'I8YYMD');
-SET &_5SAT= AYMD(&_4SUN,+6, 'I8YYMD');
-? &_

To get the previous Sat and Sun use the following:

-SET &DAYS=IF &DATEW EQ 7 THEN 0 ELSE 0-&DATEW;
-SET &LASTSAT=AYMD(&YYMD,&DAYS-1,'I8');
-SET &LASTSUN=AYMD(&LASTSAT,-6,'I8');

What you are doing:

-SET &LASTSAT = &LASTSUND +6;

will not work if the Sun to Sat crosses from one month to the next.

I would instead of changing the &LASTSUND to a MDYY date, change the PRODDATE to a YYMD format.
The formula is the same, but this can be done in a define.

NEWPROD/YYMD=CHGDAT('MDYY','YYMD'',PRODDATE,NEWPROD);

The advantage is that you now have a date that sorts better (a higher 'number' is a higher date).
