hello

I went through all the functions to find out how to calculate date/YYMD = today + 1 month - 2 days in Dialog manager.

the AYM function addes months but in YYM format only. I would like to avoid splitting date in YYM and D, calculate + 1 month and after put it together and subtract 2 days.
Is any suggestions? I would appriciate it.

Thank you, Mila

Mila,

One way:

 
-SET &NEXT_MO = DATECVT((DATEADD((DATECVT (&YYMD,    'I8YYMD', 'YYMD')),'M',  1)), 'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-SET &MINUS_2 = DATECVT((DATEADD((DATECVT (&NEXT_MO, 'I8YYMD', 'YYMD')),'D', -2)), 'YYMD','I8YYMD');


Other examples will follow...

Another way, first determine the number of days in the current month, then subtract 2, then use AYMD:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

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


-SET &DAYS1 = EDIT(&DT_EOM,'$$$$$$99');

-SET &DAYS2 = (&DAYS1 - 2) * (-1);

-TYPE &DAYS1 &DAYS2

-SET &DT2 = AYMD(&YYMD, &DAYS2, 'I8YYMD');

-TYPE &YYMD - &DT2


Other examples will follow...
