Re: [U2] End of Month date routine
Okay I took the fastest routine and made it into an $INSERT piece of code: YEAR = OCONV(THE.DATE, DY) IF MOD(YEAR,4) THEN LEAP.YEAR = 0 END ELSE IF MOD(YEAR, 100) THEN LEAP.YEAR = 1 END ELSE IF MOD(YEAR, 400) THEN LEAP.YEAR = 0 ELSE LEAP.YEAR = 1 END END Then created a Function like: FUNCTION LEAP.YEAR.FUN( THE.DATE ) $INSERT LEAP.YEAR.INS RETURN LEAP.YEAR And a Subroutine like: SUBROUTINE LEAP.YEAR.SUB( LEAP.YEAR, THE.DATE ) $INSERT LEAP.YEAR.INS RETURN Then modified Daniel's test program like: DEFFUN LEAP.YEAR.FUN( THE.DATE ) EQU LC TO 1000 * ST = TIME() FOR THE.DATE = 1 TO LC LEAP.YEAR = LEAP.YEAR.FUN( THE.DATE ) NEXT THE.DATE TS = TIME() CRT TS - ST * * ST = TIME() FOR THE.DATE = 1 TO LC CALL LEAP.YEAR.SUB( LEAP.YEAR, THE.DATE ) NEXT THE.DATE TS = TIME() CRT TS - ST * ST = TIME() FOR THE.DATE = 1 TO LC $INSERT LEAP.YEAR.INS NEXT THE.DATE TS = TIME() CRT TS - ST * END The speed results: Function 24 seconds Subroutine 21 seconds Insert 11 seconds Not surprising results given what we know about these three methods. Although the function method did get better since the last time I've test it. UD 6.1 Other systems will vary. But this is a good example of working together to enhance the U2 products, now we all have the same Leap Year calculation and those that were using the MOD(YEAR, 4) method should now use this method everywhere as to avoid data corruption.

Re: [U2] End of Month date routine
And seeing how this thread is petering out how about this alternative: meDate = date() currentMonth = oconv(meDate,'dm') loop while oconv(meDate + 1,'dm') = curMonth do meDate += 1 repeat Personally I vote for Marco's solution, though it may need brackets or an oconv. On UV10.2, Pick flavour, the compiler didn't like the TODAY - TODAYDD + 32 syntax and spat a nonnumeric data error when I tried to run it. You can see what the compiler has tried to do here, attempting to format (today - today) with (dd + 32): 2: EOM = TODAY - TODAYDD + 32 2 4 : 194 subTODAY TODAY = $R0 2 C : 004 addDD 32 = $R1 2 00014 : 09C format $R0 $R1 = EOM This variant works nowDate = date() meDate= nowDate - oconv(nowDate,'dd') + 32 meDate= meDate - oconv(meDate,'dd') Cheers, Stuart ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Stuart, You are getting the performance from the case statement by having case mod(YEAR,4) ; LEAP.YEAR = @false first, unfortunately when using case, the order is important and this needs to go just before the case @true. In your example case mod(YEAR,400); LEAP.YEAR = @false will never be happen as it will already have been picked up by the previous case Cheers, Andy From: Boydell, Stuart stuart.boyd...@spotless.com.au To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Thursday, 8 December 2011, 6:44 Subject: Re: [U2] End of Month date routine On UV the vlist would indicate yes (the complete expression is processed) .

Re: [U2] End of Month date routine
That's better. It wasn't the ';' in the last one that caused the problem - especially with a generic routine - it was the reliance on the date format being m/d/y (which Dave's original noted). Not sure why you're trying so hard to compress the lines. This routine will easily fit in pretty much any screen... I actually liked the 32 better. It just seemed to make a clearer connection to next month for me. -Original Message- From: Wjhonson I changed Marco's code slightly using Oconv to make it more clear what DD is doing and make it more generic I'm also adding 40 instead of 32 to make it clear that we don't care how much we 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 subtracting from that the day number on which we are running.

Re: [U2] End of Month date routine
Thanks John.

Re: [U2] End of Month date routine
Doesn't work for me :( Tried on UD 7.1.6 and UD 6.0.12. It works for December, but I changed it to March and it gave me January 3rd.

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.
