Is there a way to code this to get MEYYYYMM instead of MMMYYYY?

        Exactly right.  Since the question was for CL I responded in CL.
CLLE can do many things with less code but I'm still investigating it.
Thanks for the example of how it should be done.  I was thinking of trying
to follow through all the IF statements if you don't use procedure calls.

Yes, you can do it programmatically in CL but it would be lengthy.

Ummm...  not counting comments, or DCL statements, it's 4 lines of code.

    CRTLIB LIB(&LIBNAME)

ENDPGM


I don't know precisely how the OP was planning to do the logic for
figuring out the month (which is why I didn't post anything earlier).
In my sample code, I assume that if you run this during the first 15 days
of the month that you're running it for the previous month...  but I don't
know what the OP intended for that, I got lost trying to follow the logic
in his text.

But, surely this doesn't qualify as "lengthy code"?!
