Re: Change the day of a date

I would agree, but I've recently been pulled up a manager for having too
many sub procedures with few lines of code in them. I think it's because
the monolithers like to read everything, and as they prefer SEU to LPEX
they find it very difficult to read the whole program.

I'm a fan of using work variables and extra statements to simplify code.

This is one of those occasions where I'd be tempted to do a variation of
the "old" approach and probably bury it in a subproc. I love the date
functions but speed wise this is going to win every time.

D DS
D MyNewDateField...
D d DatFmt(*USA)
D Month 2s 0 Overlay(MyNewDateField)
D 1a Overlay(MyNewDateField: *next)
D Day 2s 0 Overlay(MyNewDateField: *next)

If Day >= 16;
Day = 16;
Else;
Day = 1;
EndIf;
