| As with your other question, what do you want to use for the "current month"? Is it the same at one minute past midnight on the first of the months? |

I am primarly looking for the date function which selects records of particular month.
I have seen date functions thru which we can apply selection criteria on YYYYMMDD, YYYY, MMDDYY and other many formats.
I don't know how to apply selection criteria on only month field.
Can some one help me on this. |

Hello,
Suggest you post some sample input data (maybe only the date field(s) and the output you want when your process is run. |

madishpa,
You just cannot apply only the MONTH as selection criteria when selecting records from prior month. You would need the year also. For example if the current month is January you need the records from December of last Year. So you need to have the year along with date.
use DATE2-1 which will give you last month date as CCYYMM. You can use this date in INCLUDE/OMIT condition |
