Re: Generate temporary table/list of dates

Here's an algorithm I'd pursue:

Define an array of the size desired. Do a for loop something like this:

for wCount = 1 to (%elem(array) + 1)
array(wCount) = FromDate + %days(wCount - 1)
endfor

You'll want to add a high-end test for the ending date, and I didn't define the array as it wasn't clear to me if you wanted true date fields in your list, or what.

I would like to generate a list of valid dates within a given range of date on the fly, if possible. I am running V5R3M0. I found a couple of examples out in cyberspace but couldn't get them "translated" into DB2/400 syntax. One used a recursive CTE which I don't think is supported on V5R3M0.

Anybody got something like this? I'd rather not create a table and populate it if I can avoid it (unless it is a temporary table discarded after the query runs).

Thanks,
