RE: CL program

["John Candidi" <jacandidi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a way to code this to get MEYYYYMM instead of MMMYYYY?

        Exactly right.  Since the question was for CL I responded in CL.
CLLE can do many things with less code but I'm still investigating it.
Thanks for the example of how it should be done.  I was thinking of trying
to follow through all the IF statements if you don't use procedure calls.

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"?!
