Capture of month
Guys I need your help...
I receive the month and the day in a file and I keep it in a variable. I need to take this day that Iīve kept compare with the current day and pick the file to the next day...
Letīs say I receive a file 27-JUL-2007 and I need to check in the system the current day and pick the next day. Letīs say that the current day is 27-JUL-2007 so I need to pick the files from 28-JUL-2007. The problem is how to do it in a very quick and clean way... Another problem what will I do when I receive a MONTH END file like 31-JAN-2008 or 29-FEV-2008... How can I capture the date in the system? Thereīs only the cal statment?
Thank you - Regards
