I think that with a slight modification, adding 31 works reasonably well. Just use the “DYM” conversion consistently through the program:
To be concise, in Universe, for any internal date, “D”, the internal form of the last day of the month is: lastdayofmonth = iconv(oconv(iconv(oconv( D, 'DMY'), 'DMY') +31 ,'DMY'),'DMY') -1 “DYM” would work as well.
