SET BUSDAY = _MTWTF_
DEFINE FILE TABLENAME
CDATE/YYMD=&YYMD;
NDATE/YYMD=DATEADD ( CDATE, 'D', -5 );BDATE/YYMD=DATEMOV ( NDATE, 'BOW' );EDATE/YYMD=DATEMOV ( NDATE, 'EOW' );

If you're trying to calculate yesterday's date from a YYMD date field, all you have to do is subtract 1 from the date.

SET BUSDAY = _MTWTF_

DEFINE FILE CAR
CDATE/YYMD=&YYMD;
NDATE/YYMD=DATEADD ( CDATE, 'D', -5 );
BDATE/YYMD=DATEMOV ( NDATE, 'BOW' );
EDATE/YYMD=DATEMOV ( NDATE, 'EOW' );
YDATE/YYMD=CDATE-1;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CDATE NDATE BDATE EDATE YDATE
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

(last business day)

Francis thanks for your help... and yes thats it, however I might not have said/suggested Business days.

As today is "Mondays" The report should reflect the values for Friday (last business day) as it currently shows values for Sunday (previous day).

DEFINE FILE CAR
CDATE/YYMD=&YYMD;
YDATE/YYMD=CDATE-1;
END


WHERE ( ONDATE EQ YDATE );

Hi RBCanada,

You need the follwing change to achieve what you require -

SET BUSDAY = _MTWTF_

DEFINE FILE CAR
CDATE/YYMD='2005/07/18';
NDATE/YYMD=DATEADD ( CDATE, 'D', -5 );
BDATE/YYMD=DATEMOV ( NDATE, 'BOW' );
EDATE/YYMD=DATEMOV ( NDATE, 'EOW' );
YDATE/YYMD=DATEADD(CDATE,'WD',-1);
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CDATE NDATE BDATE EDATE YDATE
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
END

My contract finishes in Sept, I'm open to offers for that time onwards Smiler S.C. has my contact details if he's still there!!
