Re: ILE - Date Substraction

Brain,
             Thanks for the clarification.

snip.....
"
The exception to this is when the resulting day portion would exceed the
actual
number of days in the resulting month.  In this case, the resulting day
portion is adjusted
to the actual month end date.

'95/05/31' SUBDUR 1:*MONTH results in '95/04/30'
    The resulting month portion has been decreased by 1; the resulting day
portion has been
    adjusted because April has only 30 days."
snip.......


Will it  not be better, if it works  other way also.  For example


'95/06/30' SUBDUR 1:*MONTH results in '95/05/30'. If it gives  '95/05/31'
because May has

31 days.


Thanks again

Regards
Raj

>From the RPGIV manual:
"When subtracting a duration in months from a date, the general rule is
that the month portion
is decreased by the number of months in the duration, and the day portion
is unchanged.  The
exception to this is when the resulting day portion would exceed the actual
number of days in
the resulting month.  In this case, the resulting day portion is adjusted
to the actual month
end date.  The following examples (which assume a *YMD format) illustrate
this point.
     '95/05/30' SUBDUR 1:*MONTH results in '95/04/30'
    The resulting month portion has been decreased by 1; the day portion is
unchanged.
     '95/05/31' SUBDUR 1:*MONTH results in '95/04/30'
    The resulting month portion has been decreased by 1; the resulting day
portion has been
    adjusted because April has only 30 days."
