Could you work out a solution by asking if the date to test is =< (the first
day of this month - 1 day)

Subject: More date questions

All,

I need to know whether one of two dates is in a prior month. I found this
won't work:

from = d'2001-07-31';
to = d'2001-08-01';

diff = %diff(from:to:*months);

Diff = 0 in this case. To me, I'm counting months - not how close the days
are. But ok. So I did this (which works):

if %subst(%char(from):6:2) < %subst(%char(to):6:2);
priorMonth = *on;
else;
priorMonth = *off;
endif;

My question is: Is this the correct way to determine if one of two dates is
in a prior month?

Thanks,

Phil
