Hi all,
Trying to figure out why my DM code to determine the First and Last days of the prior month isn't working.
Here's my code:
-TYPE TODAY IS &YYMD
-SET &LSTBOM = DATECVT(DATEMOV(DATECVT((DATEADD(&YYMD, 'M', -1)), 'I8YYMD', 'YYMD'), 'BOM'),'YYMD', 'I8YYMD');
-SET &LSTEOM = DATECVT(DATEMOV(DATECVT((DATEADD(&YYMD, 'M', -1)), 'I8YYMD', 'YYMD'), 'EOM'),'YYMD', 'I8YYMD');

-TYPE Beginning of Month: &LSTBOM
-TYPE End of Month: &LSTEOM

Thanks in advance.
Doug

Hi Doug,

Almost there, but you need to convert the &YYMD first into YYMD -

-SET &LSTBOM = DATECVT(DATEMOV(DATEADD(DATECVT(&YYMD, 'I8YYMD', 'YYMD'), 'M', -1), 'BOM'),'YYMD', 'I8YYMD');
-SET &LSTEOM = DATECVT(DATEMOV(DATEADD(DATECVT(&YYMD, 'I8YYMD', 'YYMD'), 'M', -1), 'EOM'),'YYMD', 'I8YYMD');

-TYPE TODAY IS &YYMD
-TYPE New dates are &LSTBOM and &LSTEOM

I pulled these lines directly from Tech Support and things are working
-TYPE TECH SUPPORT
-SET &CURRDATE = DATECVT(&YYMD,'I8YYMD','YYMD');
-SET &BEGCURMO = DATEMOV(&CURRDATE,'BOM');
-SET &ENDCURMO = DATEMOV(&CURRDATE,'EOM');
-SET &BEGPRIORMO=DATEADD(&BEGCURMO,'M',-1);
-SET &ENDPRIORMO=DATEMOV(&BEGPRIORMO, 'EOM');
-SET &BEG_C_MO = DATECVT(&BEGCURMO,'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-SET &END_C_MO = DATECVT(&ENDCURMO,'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-SET &BEG_P_MO = DATECVT(&BEGPRIORMO,'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-SET &END_P_MO = DATECVT(&ENDPRIORMO,'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-TYPE CURRENT DATE IS &DATEYYMD
-TYPE CURRENT MONTH - BEGINNING &BEG_C_MO
-TYPE ENDING &END_C_MO
-TYPE PRIOR MONTH - BEGINNING &BEG_P_MO
-TYPE ENDING &END_P_MO
