Great! I copied the table to our library and updated the rows that were holidays. I have procedures that calculate the number of "business days" based on the table (skipping holidays).

I may need to extend mine past 2030 - it's quickly approaching. That would break a lot of stuff here.

I did not know that Doug Mack retired... good for him.

Using RUNSQL I was able to create a CLLE that achieves my goal, Thanks for
the tip.

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.

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?
