What I want is the beginning of the month date ...

Here's a technique that will give you the first and last date
of the month:

-- start here ...
CLEAR VAR vStartDate,vEndDate
SET VAR vStartDate DATE = NULL
SET VAR vEndDate DATE = NULL
SET VAR vStartDate = (RDATE((IMON(.#DATE)),1,(IYR4(.#DATE))))
SET VAR vEndDate = ((ADDMON(.vStartDate,1))-1)
-- end here ..

And, here is a visual presentation of such technique:
