Well, here's the REXX code
Code:

DAYS = 7
DATEOUT = DATE('S',DATE('B',DATE('J'),'J')-DAYS,'B')     
TDAT = DATE('D',DATEOUT,'S')                               
JDAT = RIGHT(SUBSTR(DATEOUT,1,4),4,'0')!!RIGHT(TDAT,3,'0')

Which returns yyyyddd using either the system date as shown above, or can be easily modified to accept any date or format.

Works for leap years too .............. icon_biggrin.gif

Hi,
First seperate the input date as WS-MM WS-DD WS-YYYY in the input record.
now declare a new variable as WS-Date and compute that as
WS-Date = WS-DD - 45.
I hope this will work.

Did you account for the month/year changing?
