Using SDATEY in my heading to display the current year. Need to subtract two years from SDATEY so I can get 2004 in my heading. Hate to ask such a dumb question but how do you do that? Haven't been able to find it in the help.

FYI - You should check out the book (almost) 1001 Ways to Work with Dates in WebFOCUS at www.aviter.com. Gives numerous examples of working with dates including legacy, time stamp dates, and all kinds of conversions. Also includes calculating aging examples and time zone changes. Has a CD with all examples that can be used in your code.
