Hi ,
I want to increment the date in each record . for example
input:
2011-12-29
2011-12-30
2011-12-31
Output should be:
2011-12-30
2011-12-31
2012-01-01
I tried using ADDDAYS function , but this increments by a constant in each record. Please let me know if anybody has any idea. |

Hi Pandora-Box,
Thanks for the reply . I think I posted it wrong for the input. correct input is as below:
2011-12-29
2011-12-29
2011-12-29
Output should be:
2011-12-30
2011-12-31
2012-01-01
will this DATE1+1 Work? |

that is only partially true.
you can add a constant,
or as this link shows you can also reference a field within the records (p,m,f)
take a moment and scroll down to:
| Quote: |
numeric can be a decimal constant (+n or -n), or a valid numeric field
| (p,m,f) with BI, FI, ZD, PD, FS, UFF or SFF format and an
| appropriately corresponding length |
and since you are obviously technically (and personally)challenged
maybe overlay a seqnum to each record during INREC
and then do the ADDDAYS during OUTREC as well as dropping the sequence number.

and if i find in the future a post by yours that is so
basically juvenile
you will become the receiver of one of my infamous flames.
people are trying to help you,
and not only can you not describe your requirements properly,
you think that you can be cute with your answers.
i look forward to future topics started by you. |

My objective was to increment date by 1 day in 1st record , then 2 day in 2nd and so on. This was to create a update query later on. I think I clearly mentioned that in my post.
I tried adding a seqnum after date field and based on seqnum field , I could able to create a update query with date +<seqnum> days. This solved my problem. |
