What i have totally forgotten is that in v14.10 there will be date-utc [...] An optional argument denotes the UNIX seconds-since-the- epoch to be used instead of the current time.[..] epoch [...] May be given one to six optional arguments naming (in order) year, month, day (of month), hour, minute and second to be used instead of the current time.[..] This still does not help your case since you need the abbreviated english name of the month, which i thus just now have added as $dutc_month_abbrev to date-utc output. With this in addition you could use the following set v15-compat=y define imap_data_last_year { \local set x y z=$1 # v14.10 or later? \if "$version-hexnum" -ge 0x0E00A000 \vput vexpr x date-utc echoerr 1 x is $x \eval set $x \vput vexpr dutc_year - $dutc_year 1 echoerr 2 x is $dutc_year \vput vexpr x epoch $dutc_year $dutc_month $dutc_day echoerr 3 x is $x \eval set $x \vput vexpr x date-utc $epoch_sec echoerr 4 x is $x \eval set $x \eval set $z=${dutc_day}-${dutc_month_abbrev}-${dutc_year} \else \vput ! x date '+%d %b %Y' \vput csop x trim $x \vpospar set $x \vput vexpr y - $3 1 \eval set $z=${1}-${2}-$y \end } call imap_data_last_year myvar varshow myvar The output is s-nail: 1 x is dutc_year=2022 dutc_month=7 dutc_month_abbrev=Jul dutc_day=23 dutc_hour=17 dutc_min=39 dutc_sec=41 s-nail: 2 x is 2021 s-nail: 3 x is epoch_sec=1626998400 epoch_nsec=0 s-nail: 4 x is dutc_year=2021 dutc_month=7 dutc_month_abbrev=Jul dutc_day=23 dutc_hour=0 dutc_min=0 dutc_sec=0 set myvar=23-Jul-2021 Hope this helps. Be warned you have given credit, i hope it is ok i use your above email address?
