Hi all,
I have retrieved a date from a table.Now I want the date just 7 days previos to the date I got from the table.Please tell me a way, how I can calculate the date in my easytrieve program.
The date extracted from the table is an alphanumeric field in the format
YYYY-MM-DD.
Please paste a sample code if possible.
Thanks. |

One way would be to convert to julian, subtract the 7 checking for less than one, and convert back.
Have you looked in your manual at the DATECONV routine?
%DATECONV date1 format1 date2 format2 |
