So for the January monthend, you'd like the library to be named ME200601?
I'd do that as follows:

/* NOTE:  This is ILE CL. Source type is CLLE (not CLP!)          +
                                                                  +
    To Compile:                                                   +
           CRTBNDCL PGM(ENDOFMON) SRCFILE(xxx/xxx)                */
PGM

    DCL VAR(&LILIAN)   TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)
    DCL VAR(&NOTUSED1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8)
    DCL VAR(&NOTUSED2) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(23)
    DCL VAR(&YYYYMM)   TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(6)
    DCL VAR(&LIBNAME)  TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(8)

    /* Get the Year & Month from 15 days ago.  For example, if    +
       today is Jan 5, 2006 get 200512, if today is Feb 16 2006, +
       get 200602 */

    CALLPRC PRC(CEELOCT) PARM(&LILIAN &NOTUSED1 &NOTUSED2 *OMIT)
    CHGVAR VAR(%BIN(&LILIAN)) VALUE(%BIN(&LILIAN) - 15)
    CALLPRC PRC(CEEDATE) PARM(&LILIAN 'YYYYMM' &YYYYMM *OMIT)
    CHGVAR VAR(&LIBNAME) VALUE('ME' *CAT &YYYYMM)

    /* Create the "End of Month" library */

    CRTLIB LIB(&LIBNAME)
