Ummm...  not counting comments, or DCL statements, it's 4 lines of code.

I don't know precisely how the OP was planning to do the logic for 
figuring out the month (which is why I didn't post anything earlier). 
In my sample code, I assume that if you run this during the first 15 days 
of the month that you're running it for the previous month...  but I don't 
know what the OP intended for that, I got lost trying to follow the logic 
in his text.

But, surely this doesn't qualify as "lengthy code"?!
