Re: Re: Calculate the 20th of next month

Birgitta,

You need to refer back to Rob's post.

He throwing out the idea of a DCR to allow %Month(), %Day() to be on
the right hand side.

Basically a "set the xxxx of this date to yyyyy"

%day('2009-10-06') = 20; would result in '2009-10-20'

I'm not sure I like the proposed solution, but I do like the idea. It
always seemed silly to have to jump through hoops in RPG to transform
some date to some other explicitly defined date (first of next month,
last day of next month, the 20th, the 15th ect.)

On the other hand, that's why we have service programs right? Not
sure I want Barbara spending time on this one :)

Sorry I was wrong, I only read half of the message.

mydatefield = %date(20091031:*ISO)
%month(mydatefield) +=1;

MyDateField stays unchanged, i.e. it is still 20091031!
And %Month() on the left side of the equal sign is not allowed.

Or this scenario:

mydatefield = %date(20091031:*ISO)
%month(mydatefield) +=1;

Now what's in mydatefield?  2009-12-01?

And how does it work in december?
%month(mydatefield) = 12 --> += 1 ??? --> 13 ???
Or will it work correctly?

Anyone thought of submitting a DCR to be able to assign a date portion
from the left side of the equation?  Like,
%month(mydatefield) +=1;
%day(mydatefield) = 20;

Does anything else think that
SomeDays = subdt(mydatefield:*days);
is more cryptic than
SomeDays = %day(mydatefield);

Or are they afraid that you'll get confused between %day and the
existing
%days as in
dueDate = SellDate + %days(TermDays);
