Firstly, you do not state which version or platform that you are using. Please add this to your signature (follow the link under forum guidelines above).

Assuming that you're on a recent version, ensure you understand the use of filters within a synonym (master file). link to documentation search for master file filter.

You will need to have some global variables setup in a server profile or similar.

A suggestion for the global variables is -
-SET &&CURMONTH = DPART(DATECVT(&YYMD, 'I8YYMD', YYMD), 'MM', 'I11');
-SET &&CURQTR   = DPART(DATECVT(&YYMD, 'I8YYMD', YYMD), 'QQ', 'I11');
-SET &&CURYEAR  = DPART(DATECVT(&YYMD, 'I8YYMD', YYMD), 'YEAR', 'I11');


Next you will need to get these global variables available to use in your synonym, so you will need to add them in via the GUI - in Dev Studio the icon looks like a blue speech bubble with a white V.

Good luck
