Hi, I'm trying to develop a report that downloads all the data (based on a given criteria) that occurred during the last 7 days (week). For example, if today is 6/23/08 (Monday) and I want to get all activities that occurred between 6/16/08 (Monday) and the day execute this report which is 6/23/08 (Monday). Is there a function/verb that operates like "LastFullWeek or Last7Days" does in Crystal Reports. Thanks a million!!

Dennis,

Is this what you want:

-SET &DATE = '20080623';
-SET &SEVEN_DAYS_AGO = AYMD (&DATE ,-7,'I8');
-TYPE &SEVEN_DAYS_AGO

&DATE is a reserved word, try &MYDATE or &DATE1.

Dennis, Naak,

Beware. When you compare a date field to a litteral, both must have the same format. For example if your field is TDATE with format MDYY you must compare it to something like '06/23/2008'.
So what is the format of the date you are using?

Danny has a good point even after you have used the AYMD to determine 7 days ago, you may have to manipulate the format of the date to be in the same format as your data. If you are using something like Oracle or DB2 you may have to use an HDATE to strip the time off of a timestamp. Various date routines have been covered extensively in this forum. If the AYMD function does not provide what you need, I would suggest you do a search.
