Hi,

There is no SQL scalar function to calculate the first day of month, but you
may use a workaround. Something like this:

Exec SQL Set :FirstDay = Last_Day(:MyDate - 1 Month) + 1 Day;

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

If you are already on release V5R4, the easiest way is to use the SQL
scalar
function LAST_DAY in embedded SQL:

Exec SQL Set :EndNxtMon = Last_Day(:MyDate + 1 Month);


Thats GREAT I have R4 and that's tidied up my code nicely.

Now, what about the FIRST day of the month?
