I am trying to get the last business day of the month.

For example,

January 2013 - Last business day is 31st

September 2012 - Last business day is 28.

I am using DATEMOV(DATE,'EOM') to go to the last day but not able to get the last business day.

I don't want to do by moving to the 1st of next month and do DATEADD(DATE,'BD',-1).


Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Once you have the last calendar day of the month, how can you tell whether it's a Business day?

As far as I know, only solution is to move forward from EOM one BD, then back one BD. If EOM is a BD, you'll be back where you started; if not, you'll have found the last BD.

I can do it in three moves:

DEFINE FILE CAR
DATE1/YYMD WITH COUNTRY = '20130115';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
DATE1
COMPUTE DATE1_MP1/YYMD = DATEADD(DATE1, 'M', 1);
COMPUTE DATE1_MP1BOM/YYMD = DATEMOV(DATE1_MP1, 'BOM');
COMPUTE DATE1_LBD/YYMD = DATEMOV(DATE1_MP1BOM, 'PBD');

WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

DEFINE FILE CAR
TODAY/MDYY=  '&DATEMDYY';  
LAST_BUSDAY/MDYY=DATEADD(DATEMOV(TODAY,'EOM') + 1,'BD',-1 );
END
 
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY TODAY LAST_BUSDAY
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

I tried both Francis and Prarie code in my Developer Studio and didn't see the Last Business Day value. It shows blank.

Make sure you have an HDAYs file present in your environment.
