Yep, that works great if it's calendar based. If your 1st of the month is fiscal, then you would need a program to create it. We have a number of date variables predefined for today +/- N days for looking forward/backwards.

You can define your own variables and specify a program to call to create them.

Subject: Robot Replay / Schedule Reserved Command Variables - first of next month
We have automated all our Daily, Weekly, Monthly interactive processes using Robot Replay and Schedule.
There are a few interactive screen options requiring the first of the next month.
I need to replace the date variable on the screen with the first of the next month.
I've only found reserved command variables for current month and previous month, nothing for next month.
Any thoughts from the group?
Thank You
