That method can actually backfire, for example, if your starting date is 20040130, you'll end up on Feb 29 instead of Jan 31. What I would do is replace the day with 01 and add 1 to the month, then iconv and subtract 1 day.

Hi,

Given a date like 20040203, I want to return the last valid date for that month 
and year (20040229 in this case). What is the shortest code fragment to achieve 
this?

At the moment I'm replacing the day with 01, then iconv, add 35 days to the 
internal date and then oconv and replace the day again with 01. I'm then on the 
first day of the next month. I then iconv, subtract 1 day and oconv.

Thanks for any help.
