Hi, I am trying to calculate the begin date and end date to run reports automatically depending on today's date. but my begin date is to start from past week tuesday to this week monday. However I am having problems calculating going to past month automatically from this month if day is 00.
for example, say today's date is May 7,2013.

-SET &TODAY= '20130507';
-SET &WKDAY=DOWK(&TODAY,'A3');
-TYPE &TODAY IS &WKDAY DAY

-SET &BOW = DATECVT((DATEMOV((DATECVT(&TODAY,'I8YYMD','YYMD')),'BOW')),'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-TYPE &BOW IS BEGINNING DAY OF THIS WEEK.

-****CALCULATE END DATE FIRST SINCE EASIER, ENDING ON THIS RECENT MONDAY
-SET &END_DATE = EDIT (&BOW,'$$$$99') || '/' || EDIT (&BOW,'$$$$$$99') || '/' || EDIT (&BOW,'9999');

-TYPE &BOW IS END DATE &END_DATE.
-***
-* NOW CALCULATES BEGIN DATE SINCE IT IS TO BE PAST TUESDAY

-SET &TEST = DATEADD(&BOW, 'WD', -6);

-TYPE &TEST IS THE BEGIN DATE AND &END_DATE IS END DATE.

-EXIT


how do I get to the April 30,2013?
'D' or 'BD' or 'WD' not working...

You need to DATECVT before DATEADD:
-SET &TODAY= '20130507';
-SET &WKDAY=DOWK(&TODAY,'A3');
-TYPE &TODAY IS &WKDAY DAY

-SET &BOW = DATECVT((DATEMOV((DATECVT(&TODAY,'I8YYMD','YYMD')),'BOW')),'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-TYPE &BOW IS BEGINNING DAY OF THIS WEEK.

-****CALCULATE END DATE FIRST SINCE EASIER, ENDING ON THIS RECENT MONDAY
-SET &END_DATE = EDIT (&BOW,'$$$$99') || '/' || EDIT (&BOW,'$$$$$$99') || '/' || EDIT (&BOW,'9999');

-TYPE &BOW IS END DATE &END_DATE.
-***
-* NOW CALCULATES BEGIN DATE SINCE IT IS TO BE PAST TUESDAY

-SET &START = DATECVT((DATEADD((DATECVT(&BOW,'I8YYMD','YYMD')),'WD',-6)),'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-SET &START_DATE = EDIT (&START,'$$$$99') || '/' || EDIT (&START,'$$$$$$99') || '/' || EDIT (&START,'9999');

-TYPE &START_DATE IS THE BEGIN DATE AND &END_DATE IS END DATE.

-EXIT
