Arif, you really need to give us more information on your questions.

What constitutes a time period, month, quarter, what?

What is in the time period?

Is there anything in the data table that you can join or match to in the time period table?

What are the formats of these fields?

Please give us more to go on.

How about compare your period-end dates against(LT) the current date?

TODAY/YYMD = ITODAY;

This is the formate of table
dim_Time_key FiscalYear Period Week
1 2004 01 1

Date CalendarYear FYPW FYP
2003-03-29 2003 2004011 200401

Date is dateformat, Period and week can be calculated from FYPW.
I am trying to get TODAY - 7 as current period because my data gets updated every 7 days, so previous week is my current period and week.

I tried follwing but it didnt work
Current = TODAY - 7
CURPERIOD = FYPW
WHERE Current = DATE

Orignal question was:
How do I get Current Period, Previous 1, Previous 2, Previous 3


Your period seems to be year and month from which you can subtract 3 to get the previous 3. How is week related to that? That should be the amper variable (e.g. &PERIOD_3) that you use in your WHERE clause. Do this part all in Dialogue Manager.

What you then need to do first is convert TODAY to your FYPW format. You can do that in a DEFINE. For instance:
DEFINE FILE CAR
CURRDATE/YYMD=&YYMD;
CURRFYP/YYM=CURRDATE;
CURRFYPI/I6YYM=CURRFYP;
CURRWK/W=CURRDATE;
CURRFYPW/A8=EDIT(CURRFYPI) || EDIT(CURRWK);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CURRDATE CURRFYP CURRWK CURRFYPW
BY COUNTRY
IF READLIMIT EQ 1
END


I only used the CAR file as an example. After the date in the data file is reformatted, you can same something like this:
WHERE CURRFYPW GE &PERIOD_3;

You Can Try below mentioned Functions:
DATEADD

or

DATEMOV

Try using them together as combination....

Say For example--- In my report I need to show Three Different Dates:

  CUR_DT/YYMD=&YYMD;
TO_DAY/wr =CUR_DT;
NBD_DT/YYMD=DATEMOV(CUR_DT, 'NBD');
PBD_DT/YYMD=DATEMOV(CUR_DT, 'PBD');
PPBD_DT/YYMD=IF TO_DAY EQ 'Tuesday' THEN DATEADD(CUR_DT,'D',-4) ELSE DATEADD(PBD_DT,'D',-1);


Hope this will help.....

There is a lot of suggestions, but we still don't know what a period is, and how its stored.
Confused

Arif, if you want usable suggestions, please give more information.

DEFINE FILE PERIOD_FILE
CAL_DATE/I8 = EDIT(DATE,'9999$99$99');
END
TABLE FILE PERIOD_FILE
PRINT
Enro
BY HIGHEST 3 FYP NOPRINT
BY HIGHEST FYPW
WHERE CAL_DATE LE &YYMD
END

Will this give you the current month plus the previous 2 months periods? You have to work out the CAL_DATE from the db2 field(DATE) so it can be comparable to &YYMD.
