AW: query question

Hi,

>>it is alpha, but w/it being a monthly can this be done in Query to run
>>every month and use the current month?

I assume you mean Query/400!

to determine the current date as character representation (YYYY-MM-DD) in
Query/400 use the following definition:
CURDATEA    Char(Current(Date), ISO)

to select current year and month use the following definition
CURYEARMON  substr(curdate, 1, 4) !!
            substr(curdate, 6, 2)

assumed your date field is a character field in the format MMDDYYYY,
determine the year and month as follows:
CMPYEARMON  substr(MyDate), 5, 4) !!
            substr(MyDate), 1, 2)

Now it's easy to select all records with the current year and month:
CMPYEARMON        EQ     curyearmon

Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards

it is alpha, but w/it being a monthly can this be done in Query to run
every month and use the current month?
