This is the reason that, on our system, we never have due dates for

It is "wrong" only if you want the end of the month each time, otherwise
it is "correct".

You could write a simple GetEndOfMonth() subprocedure (I think I posted
1 line of code that does this in /free format on the
www.rpgiv.com/forum and in my RPG TNT book).

If you want the end of month for 3 months ago, regardless of the date or
the end of the month from 3 months from now, that's one more step/stmt
than just adding or subtracting %months(3) from an existing date.

And it does calc 2007-02-28 when subtracting 3 months from may 29.


Good Luck

RTFM....

"When subtracting a duration in months from a date, the general rule
is that the
month portion is decreased by the number of months in the duration,
and the day
portion is unchanged. The exception to this is when the resulting day
portion
would exceed the actual number of days in the resulting month. In this
case, the
resulting day portion is adjusted to the actual month end date."

Isn't RPG intuitive enough to figure out that if the current
month ends in 31 and the previous month (whatever that
happens to be) is <> 31 to just go the previous day closest to it?

I certainly would hope so. God forbid I have to program some
ridiculous function to do that when practically every other
language can handle it.

Oy vey...

Simple? Yes and no... just wait until it's May 29th and you
try to find

out what the date was 3 months ago.
