Maybe this will help. Assuming that your table is ordered by cust and then charge, this code would change the 1st record by 0 days, the second record by 30 days and the third record by 60 days.


SELECT ThisTable
GOTO TOP
SCAN
save_cust = ThisTable.cust
save_charge = ThisTable.charge
item_cnt = 0
DO WHILE NOT EOF() AND save_cust = ThisTable.cust AND save_charge = ThisTable.charge
REPLACE ThisTable.date WITH (ThisTable.date - (30 * item_cnt))
item_cnt = item_cnt + 1
SKIP
ENDDO
SKIP -1
ENDSCAN
