Create function a function that returns the date.
In the function have an sql statement that is similar to this. Replace the ALDAY to your business date flag.
with cte as (
select aldate, row_number() over(order by aldate) as row
from rtapcal
where alcono = '001' and aldate > 20110712
and alday not in (3,4) )
select aldate into returndate
from cte where row = 6

Subject: SQL Inspiration needed
I'm collecting alternative solutions for a couple of SQL "problems" - things that would be relatively easy (if laborious) in native RPG.
So ... given that I have a table ORDERS which contains order and shipping dates, I need to populate the shipping dates such that the shipping date is 6 "business days" after the order date.
Business days can be determined from a calendar table keyed on date and which contains a "Y" or "N" to indicate whether that date is a business day or not.
Any ideas? The only ones we come up with are so darn nasty.
