Just for laughs, the following works with only a single date conversion, though
will admit that it gets a little too obscure to be considered maintainable.
dmittedly, there are probably easier ways to tell how many days there are in a
onth, but they may not be as much fun!

extdate = oconv( d, 'D4-YMD')
year = field(extdate, '-',1)
month = field( extdate, '-', 2)
dom = field(extdate,'-',3)
if month = 2 then
daysinmonth = 28 + ( not(mod(year,4)) & ( mod(year,100) !
ot(mod(year,400)) ))
end else
daysinmonth = 30 + mod( if month < 8 then abs(month-2) else month-7,
)
end
lastdayofmonth = d - dom + daysinmonth

I changed Marco's code slightly using Oconv to make it more clear what DD is

I'm also adding 40 instead of 32 to make it clear that we don't care how much
e are adding as long as it's between 32 and 57
To make it clear what this is doing, we are taking the internal date, and
ubtracting from that the "day number" on which we are running.
This will *always* give you the last day of the previous month. Always.
Then we add enough to jump us into the next month anywhere, doesn't matter at
ll.
And then do the same trick again, which will *always* give you the last day of
he month in which you are running
This is a fantastic bit of magic.
TODAY = DATE() ; LAST.MO.END = TODAY - OCONV(TODAY,'DD')
A.DAY.NEXT.MO = LAST.MO.END + 40
END.OF.MO.DATE = A.DAY.NEXT.MO - OCONV(A.DAY.NEXT.MO,'DD')

arco, this is absolutely brilliant.
nd I reserve the use of the word "brilliant", for code that truly transcends
ormal space-time
'm not certain that the use of "DD" is vendor independent, but it could be
ade
o, by merely using OCONV(TODAY, 'DD') instead

Doesn't work on my system Anthony.
The This month o gives the month and year ok
but the attempt to iconv that sets it to zero, it doesn't pad the "01" into it
> something
so i just get 31 at that point.
I think you were expecting that it would take "12 2011" and make it into "12
2011" or whatever
but it's not working

Haven't checked it, but what happens on 01/31 by adding 31, it should take you

Will give you 02/xx (28 or 29)?

Does someone have a routine that, no matter what day you run it, returns the

(Assume the end of month date, is the calendar end of month date not some

Hmmm... no-one seems to have done my approach ...
TODAY = @DATE
HIS.MONTH.O = OCONV (TODAY, "DMY") ;* strip day off
EXT.MONTH.I = ICONV( THIS.MONTH.O, "D") + 31 ;* random day next month
EXT.MONTH.O = OCONV( NEXT.MONTH.I, "DMY") ;* strip day off
AST.DAY.I = ICONV( NEXT.MONTH.O, "D") - 1 ;* subract one day
If you don't have a day in your i/oconv it defaults to 1, so the logic
orks. Unfortunately you can't combine the first three lines because
here's no number you can pick that will guarantee to land you in next
onth whatever today's date :-(
