Hi

How can i find previous year date from current year date?

Example:Current year date is 10/23/2014.I want to retrieve the previous year date (10/23/2013).Is there any business function or system function available to calculate the date in JDE?


Thanks
 
I think you could create a C BSFN to do this pretty easily if one doesn't all ready exist.

Code:
AdvanceDate(&lpDS->jdDateOut, &lpDS->jdDateIn, -12, 0);

OR

Code:
AdvanceDate(&lpDS->jdDateOut, &lpDS->jdDateIn, lpDS->nMonthsToAdvance, 0);

What do you want for a return if the date is Feb 29 (Feb 28 or Mar 1)? Dates all ways seem to be more confusing than they first appear. Here is a utility function I wrote that I use quite a bit for rolling date and time that might give some insight:

Code:
#ifndef DATASTRUCTURE_D5800034C
#define DATASTRUCTURE_D5800034C

typedef struct tagDSD5800034C
{
  JDEDATE           jdDateIn;                            
  MATH_NUMERIC      mnTimeIn;                            
  JDEDATE           jdDateOut;                           
  MATH_NUMERIC      mnTimeOut;                           
  MATH_NUMERIC      mnRollYears;

  MATH_NUMERIC      mnRollSeconds;                       
} DSD5800034C, *LPDSD5800034C;

Why not just use the add_months expression in ER?

Add (-12) months to your date

Or use the User Date, Format BSFN to split your dates up into D M Y parts (add 1 Y) call it again in the other mode to get the date from the parts

Pass a blank ‘ ‘ to bring back the date from the bits.

Pass a ‘1’ to bring back the bits from the passed in date.
