Hi,

Could any one help me out to find previous month end date. I have already checked previous discussion in forum on subject but could not figured out my error.

Here is my code


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

-TYPE &DT_CURR
-TYPE &DT_EOM

-SET &END_PRIOR_MO = DATEADD(&DT_EOM,'M',-1);
-TYPE &END_PRIOR_MO

Here are the results:

20150223
20150228

570700513 'this should show 20150131'

Anyone help on it will be highly appreciated

Just a suggestion - calculate the BOM, take one day from it (whilst it's still in YYMD format - count of days) and then convert it to I8YYMD.

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

-TYPE &DT_CURR
-TYPE &DT_EOM

-SET &END_PRIOR_MO = DATECVT(DATEMOV(DATECVT(&DT_CURR,'I8YYMD','YYMD'),'BOM')-1,'YYMD','I8YYMD');
-TYPE &END_PRIOR_MO

Have you tried reading the documentation regarding the DATEMOV function? Have you tried the "EOQ" (end of quarter) move-point?
