[SOLVED] EOM gives wrong date (giving 03/01 instead of 02/28)

Hi All,

I am using the BOM and EOM functions to calculate dates which are used as input parameters for my reports.

However for Feb 2015, the EOM is shown as 20150301 (March 1).
I do not understand why the system is not giving the right EOM.

Is it something to do with next year being leap year.
If so, how do I fix it?

The code is:
-SET &RUNDATEINT = DAMDY(&MDYY, 'I8');

-SET &BOMRUNDATE = DATEMOV(&RUNDATEINT, 'BOM');
-SET &STARTDATE = DTYMD(&BOMRUNDATE, 'I8YYMD');

-SET &EOMRUNDATE = DATEMOV(&RUNDATEINT, 'EOM');
-SET &ENDDATE = DTYMD(&EOMRUNDATE, 'I8YYMD');

Thanks for reading.

sumant, you cannot use the date functions without first converting the date string to a date.

1) Convert the string to a date with DATECVT
2) Apply the date function
3) Convert the date back to a string with DATECVT

-SET &BOMRUNDATE = DATECVT((DATEMOV((DATECVT(&RUNDATEINT,'I8YYMD','YYMD')),'EOM')),'YYMD','I8YYMD');
