SQL build file of dates


I know that I can do this quickly in RPG or other HLL languages (even REXX),
but I'm looking for a way to do it in SQL (QMQRY) if possible, perhaps as a
CTE.

If I have a starting date, is there a way to return a set of succeeding
dates?  For a month-end process I need a file that contains the following
data:
        Year    Month
        2005    01
        2005    02
        2005    03
        etc.
        2006    10
        2006    11
        2006    12

This file would contain a total of 24 records.  At the end of each month it
would be cleared/rebuilt with appropriate values (end of January 2007 it
would be 2005-02 through 2007-01).

I've looked through the archives and haven't found anything close.  If you
have a solution or can point me to information, it would be much appreciated
(I'm trying to save what few hairs I have left).

Thanks in advance,
