I use a table from IBM called DATE_CONV for a lot of my date converting (JOIN is faster than converting). I think this was included with web query in QWQCENT library.
select dc_date from date_conv
where dc_date <= current_date and dc_day_name='Friday'
order by dc_date desc
fetch first row only;
Result is 2023-08-04
Of course, you can return your date in virtually any date format.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Getting last Friday's date
I need to retrieve the date from last Friday. If it is Friday, I want the
current date. Anyone have a routine that does that before I start
developing one? Seem like a good SQL problem but the program using it
would be in CLLE.
Thoughts?
