Is there any function available? |

Not really, the tricky part is what are you going to do for the exceptions as noted above....  |

You can convert your date in dd-mmmm format where dd will be day of the month ( between 1 to 31) and mmmm will be months since 1900.
( both variables will be numeric).
you can advance month by just adding 1 to mmmm variable. you can convert this date in mm-dd-yyyy format by just divind mmmm by 12.
reminder will be month ( for reminder 0 month will be december) and 1800 + quotient will give you exact year.
Hope I am clear.
Cheers, |

Hello,
Before you write any code or use any built-in date functions, you will want to get a definition of what "+1 month" is in your organization. Once the rule has been defined, you can then implement your code.
As W.T. mentioned, there is another similar thread in this forum. |

| you can use + 1 month in a query. it is not an organization standard. its a db2 standard. |

Hello,
Yes, you can use + 1 month in a query. That does NOT mean the result will be acceptable in all organizations. As widely used as DB2 is, it does not yet dictate business rules.
If they have db2

and if the result is correct for that organization, great - if not other means should be used for this calculation. |

Dick is right,
Every organization can be different, especially when it comes to fiscal weeks, months, and years. As an example, an organizations fiscal month could start on the first Sunday on the calendar month, putting the start of the fiscal year, first month and week on January 7, 2007.
Probably, the DB2 algorithm will be correct though, but as Dick said, you need to check.
And you now need to be a DB2 program |
