>>>A thread a while ago was discussing the best way to find the last day of the current month. Since I couldn't find the messages I'll go ahead and answer the question here. The following code will find the last day of the month when passed a date parameter:
>>>
>>>Procedure LastDay
>>>LPARAMETERS dCurrent
>>>
>>>LOCAL lcValue, lcMonth, lcYear, ldValue, ldNewDate
>>>
>>>ldValue = GOMONTH(dCurrent,1)
>>>lcMonth = STR(MONTH(ldValue))
>>>lcYear = STR(YEAR(ldValue)
>>>lcValue = lcMonth+"/"+"01"+"/"+lcYear
>>>ldNewDate = CTOD(lcValue) - 1
>>>
>>>Return ldNewDate
>>Michael,
>>
>>The answer that we found was;
>>
>> LPARAMETERS pDDate
>> RETURN GOMONTH(pdDate,1) - DAY(GOMONTH(pdDate,1))
>>
>>It is less code I know but it works <g>.

>This (Jim's) is also the method given in the August FoxTalk issue and works regardless of the user's set('date'). Might this now be accepted as the "definitive" answer? Good enough for a FAQ considering the amount of discussion it has received?

This FAQ is already in the FAQ section as "Some useful date functions". But with my formula, not Jim's. :)
