I am wanting to do a drill down report for the last 5 years for a given date. Is there a way using the dialouge manager (or other method) for chaning an amper value mathmatically?

For example, our Aid year is 0607 (2006-2007). So last year's aid year would be 0506, subtracting 101. I've tried this in the dialouge manager, however it doesn't seem to do math very well.

I'm confused, Brian. That should work. Can you post your code?

Hi.

This is what I was trying to use:

-DEFAULT &AID_YEAR = 0607
-SET &AID_YEAR = &AID_YEAR - 101

If that's an extract, create a program that has just that code and add this line

-TYPE &AID_YEAR

Should display 506.

If your problem is the missing leading zero, you can fix that with a little extra code.

-SET &C_AIDYEAR = 0607;
-SET &L_AIDYEAR1 = &C_AIDYEAR + 10000 - 101;
-SET &L_AIDYEAR = EDIT(&L_AIDYEAR1,'$9999');
-TYPE CURRENT YEAR: &C_AIDYEAR / LAST YEAR: &L_AIDYEAR

Since your Dialog Manager starts with a zero, it drops when you use it in math. I add an amount that is one zero more than the result you're expecting and then edit out that position. (Is this English?! I hope I was clear enough in the code).
