I have coded the rexx program for date in the following way.
CURRDATE = SUBSTR(DATE(S),3,2) || SUBSTR(DATE(S),5,2) || SUBSTR(DATE(S),,7,2)
CURRYY = SUBSTR(DATE(S),3,2)
CURRYYYY = SUBSTR(DATE(S),1,4)
CURRMM = SUBSTR(DATE(S),5,2)
CURRDD = SUBSTR(DATE(S),7,2)
I want to check for the quarter end date. If the current month is > 3 and less than 6 then set the month to 03 and similarly for other quarters.
QTRENDDT = CURRYYYY || CURRMM
Do While (CURRMM \= 03 & CURRMM \= 06 & CURRMM \= 09 & CURRMM \= 12)
If (CURRMM = 03 | CURRMM = 06 | CURRMM = 09 | CURRMM = 12) Then
QTRENDDT = CURRYYYY || CURRMM
Else If (CURRMM = 01) Then
Do
QTRENDDT = CURRYYYY - 1 || 12
CURRMM = 12
End
Else If (CURRMM \= 01) Then
Do
CURRMM = CURRMM - 1
QTRENDDT = CURRYYYY || CURRMM
End
End
The logic is working fine. Only problem is with leading zeroes in month.
The month it is giving is 3 instead of 03 after concatenation.
Result is
QTRENDDT = 20093
I want the result to be 200903. I have tried the RIGHT function but it is ABENDING. May be i have not used it correct way. Please help!
Thanks |

please clarify ...
usually
| Code: |
1-3 quarter end date = 3 start 1
4-6 quarter end date = 6 start 4
6-9 quarter end date = 9 start 7
10-12 quarter end date = 12 start 10 |

RIGHT is the correct function, i.e.:
QTRENDDT = CURRYYYY || RIGHT(CURRMM,2,'0') |

and here is the algorithimic solution ...
| Code: |
do i = 1 to 12
say right(i,2,"0") "qstart = " right(((i-1)%3)*3+1,2,"0") "qend = " right(((i-1)%3)*3+3,2,"0")
end

Thank you
I have coded the right statement in the following way.
CURRMM = RIGHT(CURRMM,2,'0'). I believe this statement was not liking.
I changed it to QTRENDDT = CURRYYYY || RIGHT(CURRMM,2,'0') as per superk. and it is working fine.
Code:
1-3 quarter end date = 12 start 1
4-6 quarter end date = 3 start 4
6-9 quarter end date = 6 start 7
10-12 quarter end date = 9 start 10
Thanks to all for your quick reply. |

still illogic/very peculiar , but if You like it that way 
if You want people to understand what You mean it would be wiser to use a different terminology or a better description...
quarter start and quarter end are pretty standard terms and You are using them in an odd way |
