You posted a question nearly a year ago about date arithmetic which petered out because there was insufficient base information for anybody to post a solution to match your evolving requirement (only last post mentions the expected output format).
In the custom of this forum, please post the base information about your computer software, some representative sample input data which contains the date data, an explanation of the process, and the expected matching sample output data. Please mention the volume of data which needs to be processed and quote real numbers (i.e. not words like "huge").
Please do find out whether you have the BSD variant of the date command installed, and whether you have Perl installed (what version?), and whether you have ksh93 installed (unlikely with AIX but not impossible).
Hi,
I am working on windows env where MKSToolkit is installed.
