I'm not sure about an existing function ... but the only thing that leaps to
my mind is this:
<cfset indexdate = CreateDate(2002,1,1)>
<cfset mydayofmonth = 200>
<cfloop condition="DaysInMonth(indexdate) lt mydayofmonth">
<cfset mydayofmonth = mydayofmonth - daysinmonth(indexdate)>
<cfset indexdate = dateadd("mm",1,indexdate)>
</cfloop>
<cfset MyDate = DateAdd("dd",1,mydayofmonth)>
This is somewhat crude, but it should work, and you could do this in
CFScript and make it a function and then reuse it, which is probably more
useful.
