Will, This was exactly my method, except I was adding 35 days (it could have been 30 as well) to the first day of the month to get to next month. I also dislike the lookup table idea i.e. 31,28,30,31,etc, the leap year or 12th month logic. Thanks for all the responses guys.

And you never need to worry about leap years nor about 12th month logic Input Date ; * format yyyymmdd Middleofthismonth = date[1,6]:'15' I.Middle = Iconv(Middleofthismonth,'D') I.Next = I.Middle + 30 NextMonth = Oconv(I.NEXT,'D2-') FirstDayNextMonth = NextMonth[1,2]:'01':NextMonth[5,2] I.FirstDay = Iconv(FirstDayNextMonth,'D') I.LastDayPreviousMonth = I.FirstDay - 1 Now can we scrunch this down? Input Date ; *format yyyymmdd NextMonth = Oconv(Iconv(date[1,6]:'15','D') + 30,'D2') I.LastDayPreviousMonth = Iconv(NextMonth[1,2]:'01':NextMonth[5,2],'D') + 1 Do I win the big stuffed pickle?
