I have this problem

I run a report where the user is asked for a yearmonth value and then there should be a calcultation on that field to get two new dates.

-DEFAULT &YEARMONTH='200702';
-*calculate actual monthend and previous monthend
-SET &FDM='&YEARMONTH'||'01';
-SET &YR=EDIT('&YEARMONTH.EVAL','9999');
-SET &ACMONTH=EDIT('&YEARMONTH.EVAL','$$$$99');
-* what do I do next to get
...&ACTMONTHEND='20070228'
..and...
...&PREVMONTEND='20070131'

If I put in '200701'
this would be '20070131' and '20061231'...

any help would be nice

Can you play with this...to get what you want?

-SET &TODAY = &DATEYYMD;
-SET &BEGCURR = EDIT(&YYMD,'99999901');
-SET &ENDDATE = AYMD( &BEGCURR, -1 , 'I8YYMD');
-SET &BEGDATE = EDIT( &ENDDATE,'99999901');
-SET &BEGG = EDIT(&BEGDATE,'9999/99/99');
-SET &EGG = EDIT(&ENDDATE ,'9999/99/99');
-TYPE &BEGDATE &ENDDATE &BEGG &EGG

What is this supposed to do?

SET &TODAY=%DATEYYMD...20070308
SET &BEGCURR=EDIT(&YYMD,'99999901') this would be '20079301'...
then subsatract one day and put it in dayformat
so '20070228'
then next command ...'20070201' etc
change display format to '2007/01/31' etc

yes this would help...

Try this:
  
-SET &YEARMONTH=200702;
-SET &THISYMD=&YEARMONTH | '01';
-SET &NEXTYM=AYM(&YEARMONTH,1,'I6');
-SET &NEXTYMD=&NEXTYM | '01';
-SET &ENDPREVYMD=AYMD(&THISYMD,-1,'I8');
-SET &ENDTHISYMD=AYMD(&NEXTYMD,-1,'I8');
-TYPE &ENDTHISYMD
-TYPE &ENDPREVYMD
