RE: Month Start/Month End

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

short/sane answer is no;

c/l does not have the date manipulation capabilities of other languages -

Long/in-sane answer is yes; IF you want a VERY large C/L program with loops
and other really
bizarre things to make it work.  Basically you would have all the "tables"
for the months, and
take into account the leap years... blah blah - basically like the old days
when we had
just RPGII - really messy stuff - but can be done.

Save yourself the headache, call a RPGILE
program that can do this while it makes you a cup of cappuccino <tongue in
cheek>.

IMHO

Is there a way to calculate month start/month end dates using CL only?
