I need to calculate prior 2 months from the current date in YYYY/MM/DD format using a -SET command. Can someone send me an example? Thanks.

Here are some basic examples that I have in case I need them. You could tweak them to fit your specific needs.

-SET &&CURDATE=&YYMD;
 
-* This sets what Yesterday is:
-SET &&YESTERDAY=AYMD(&&CURDATE,-1,'I8YYMD');
 
-* This sets Current Year based upon Yesterday
-SET &&CYEAR=EDIT(&&YESTERDAY,'9999');
 
-* This sets Prior Year based upon Yesterday
-SET &&PYEAR=&&CYEAR-1;
 
-* This sets what the current month is based upon todays's date
-SET &&CMONTH=EDIT(&&CURDATE,'999999') || '01';
-SET &CMONTHYYM=EDIT(&&CURDATE,'999999');
 
-* This sets what last month is based upon today's date
-SET &&PMONTH=EDIT(AYM(&CMONTHYYM, -1, 'I6YMD')) || '01';
-SET &PMONTHYYM=EDIT(&&PMONTH,'999999');
 
-* This sets 7 days prior based upon &YESTERDAY
-SET &&P7DAY=AYMD(&&YESTERDAY,-7,'I8YYMD');
 
-* This sets prior 3 months based upon last month - it will generate complete data
-SET &&P3MONTH=EDIT(AYM(&PMONTHYYM, -1,'I6YYM')) || '01';
 
-* This sets prior 6 months based upon last month - it will generate complete data
-SET &&P6MONTH=EDIT(AYM(&PMONTHYYM, -4,'I6YYM')) || '01';
 
-* This sets prior 12 months based upon last month - it will generate complete data
-SET &&P12MONTH=EDIT(AYM(&PMONTHYYM, -12,'I6YYM')) || '01';

-SET &DATE_MINUS_2 = DATECVT(DATEADD(DATECVT(&YYMD,'I8YYMD','YYMD'),'M',-2), 'YYMD', 'I8YYMD');
-TYPE &DATE_MINUS_2
-EXIT

Thank you both BabakNYC and Tom. Excellent dialogue manager date routines. I'll definitely keep them in my documentation file for future reference. I'm stuck on one more conversion. I need to do another -SET to get the end of the current month. My DATEMOV calculation is not coming out currently. Thanks again.

Same concept, DATEMOV function:
 
-SET &DATE_EOM = DATECVT(DATEMOV(DATECVT(&YYMD,'I8YYMD','YYMD'),EOM), 'YYMD', 'I8YYMD');
-TYPE &DATE_EOM
-EXIT

Is it again time to suggest the document "1001 Way to Work With Dates" by Price and Perlmutter published by Aviter, Inc?
