Hi,
Like the subject said, is there any way to get the last date of the current month? So for instance current month is May 2008 the last date would be 31 and February 2008 would be 29, thanks~

Use the DATEMOV function.

Dialogue Manager:

-SET &DT_EOM = 
- DATECVT(( DATEMOV((DATECVT(&YYMD,'I8YYMD','YYMD')),'EOM')),
- 'YYMD','I8YYMD');

-TYPE &DT_EOM


FOCUS:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
COMPUTE DT_EOM/YYMD=DATEMOV('&YYMD', 'EOM');

BY COUNTRY
END

BTW this is available in the manual.
If you would take a look you will find more functions like this one.
To move to begin or end of Week, Quarter, Year
to move to next Business day and many more.
Sometimes manuals are worth to be used....

I know, I know... but my company lost the manual years ago(I just got onboard less than 3 months ago) and I don't know where to look for a replacement.

Yuuta,

There is a very good link at the top right of each forum page entitled "Search the Technical Documentation Library" which opens in a new window. From here you can search for past postings on the Forum or a direct search on the IB Tech DOcs or a combination of both sources.

Alternatively, there used to be a CD with all the documentation for a platform and release available. I always have one close to hand as I then don't require internet access to check the manual.

Yuuta,

You will need the "Using Functions" manual for this topic. Do what Tony said and download that one and the language manual at minimum.

I would recommend Creating Reports with WebFocus Language, WebFocus Graphics, Describing Data and Using Functions at minimum. If you are doing any administrative work get the administrators guide as well. PDF downloads are free, printed copies you have to pay for.

As a matter for course I saved copies of all the PDF's and have links to the online manuals available, you never know when you'll need them.

But the most used manual is Using Functions
