I am trying to determine if a date is between today's date and 30 days in the future

I have set up a define for today's date and then 30 days in the future
Today/yymd ='&DATEYYMD'
futuredate/yymd = DATEADD('DATEYYMD','D',30)

I am not sure about how to determine this.

Normally, if all your fields are on the same date format you can just do:

WHERE TestDate GT Today;
WHERE TestDate LT FutureDate;

Or
DEFINE FILE CAR
TestDate1/YYMD = '20150221';
TestDate2/YYMD = '20150401';
Today/YYMD ='&DATEYYMD';
FutureDate/YYMD = DATEADD('&DATEYYMD','D',30);
IsBetweenY /I1 = IF TestDate1 GT Today AND TestDate1 LT FutureDate THEN 1 ELSE 0;
IsBetweenN /I1 = IF TestDate2 GT Today AND TestDate2 LT FutureDate THEN 1 ELSE 0;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT Today
      FutureDate
      TestDate1
      TestDate2
      IsBetweenY
      IsBetweenN
BY COUNTRY
WHERE READLIMIT EQ 1;
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1;
END

You can also DATEDIF funtion to find number of days between test date and today. If it is between 0 and 30, then YES else NO.

Thanks,
Ram

You really should get a copy of the ebook 1001 Ways to Work with Dates in WebFOCUS. This great PDF covers all of those pesky date problems.

Good luck.
