To fubd previous months' end dates with system date as i/p

[jasand]

Hi,

Please let me know how to get the o/p for the below requirement.
I need to manipulate the system run date and get last two month's end dates.

For eg: If today is June 1st or 3rd,
then the output file (FB/80) should hold 'May' and 'April' month end dates.

The output file should hold a single record as below,
ABCDEFGXX0000053110043010

where
ABCDEFG - constant
XX - a parm value (alphabetic)
0000 - constant
053110 - date field (MMDDYY - May month's end date)
043010 - date field (MMDDYY - April month's end date)

Thanks.

y u need parm value? and other constant?

well, since we are only concerned with months, a simple internal cobol table would suffice.
determining Feb end date would require a calculation.

there are LE routines that you could call for date manipulations.
there are some cobol intrinsic functions that you could use. (COBOL II)

you could also perform a search on this website,
I believe there are some threads concerning date calculations.
