Hi,

Iam trying to get the previous 6 week's friday's dates based on the current date(i.e.,5th Aug 2016,29th July,22nd July,15th July,8th July,1st July) and also the current week's friday i.e., now it would be 12th Aug 2016 but Iam unable to do so.

Could anyone please let me know how to get this done in this format - (say 1-Jul-16).

Currently Iam using this code below :
-SET &FRIDATE0 =
- DATECVT((DATEMOV((DATECVT(&YYMD,'I8YYMD','YYMD')),'EOW')),'YYMD','I8YYMD');

-*-- Calulate the previous seven Fridays---------------------------------------

-SET &FRIDATE1 = AYMD(&FRIDATE0, -7, 'I8YYMD');
-SET &FRIDATE2 = AYMD(&FRIDATE1, -7, 'I8YYMD');
-SET &FRIDATE3 = AYMD(&FRIDATE2, -7, 'I8YYMD');
-SET &FRIDATE4 = AYMD(&FRIDATE3, -7, 'I8YYMD');
-SET &FRIDATE5 = AYMD(&FRIDATE4, -7, 'I8YYMD');
-SET &FRIDATE6 = AYMD(&FRIDATE5, -7, 'I8YYMD');

-TYPE &FRIDATE0
-TYPE &FRIDATE1
-TYPE &FRIDATE2
-TYPE &FRIDATE3
-TYPE &FRIDATE4
-TYPE &FRIDATE5
-TYPE &FRIDATE6

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,

For 1-Jul-16 you need to convert the numeric date to alpha. The manuals tell how.

Try checking todays Day, Thursday etc., and then add the appropriate number of days, 1 for Thursday 2 for Wednesday etc and use that date for calculations
