Then you read this file for the number of quarters you are reporting. This is also way easier to modify if the company gets sold and changes its year end.

Code:
today=$(date +%Y%m%d)
while read quarter start end
do
if [ $start -ge $today ]
then
exit
fi
if [ $today -gt $end ]
then
let new_end=$today-$(date +%d)+1 #first day of month
let new_end=$(date +%Y%m%d --date="$new_end yesterday") #last day of previous month
fi
if [ $new_end -le $start ]
then
exit
else
end=$new_end
fi
do sql with $quarter $start $end
done <quarter_file
Hi All,

Hi.,
After retrieving values from DB I have two datestamps in format:
12/01/2010:05:40:00 AM and 12/01/2010:06:00:00 PM.
general time format: MM/DD/YYYY:HH:MM:SS AM or PM
Any quick solution to get the difference of two in the format : 1 day(s) 12:20:00

Dear Members,
Depending on the current date i should find out the start and end dates of the quarter.
ex: Today date is 14-Nov-2011 then Quarter start date should be Oct 1 2011 and Quarter End date should be Dec 31 2011.
How can i do this?
Thanks

date::format
Date::Format(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Date::Format(3)NAME
Date::Format - Date formating subroutines
SYNOPSIS
use Date::Format;
@lt = localtime(time);
print time2str($template, time);
print strftime($template, @lt);
print time2str($template, time, $zone);
print strftime($template, @lt, $zone);
print ctime(time);
print asctime(@lt);
print ctime(time, $zone);
print asctime(@lt, $zone);
DESCRIPTION
This module provides routines to format dates into ASCII strings. They correspond to the C library routines "strftime" and "ctime".
time2str(TEMPLATE, TIME [, ZONE])
"time2str" converts "TIME" into an ASCII string using the conversion specification given in "TEMPLATE". "ZONE" if given specifies the
zone which the output is required to be in, "ZONE" defaults to your current zone.
strftime(TEMPLATE, TIME [, ZONE])
"strftime" is similar to "time2str" with the exception that the time is passed as an array, such as the array returned by "localtime".
ctime(TIME [, ZONE])
"ctime" calls "time2str" with the given arguments using the conversion specification "%a %b %e %T %Y
"
asctime(TIME [, ZONE])
"asctime" calls "time2str" with the given arguments using the conversion specification "%a %b %e %T %Y
"
MULTI-LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Date::Format is capable of formating into several languages, these are English, French, German and Italian. Changing the language is done
via a static method call, for example
Date::Format->language('German');
will change the language in which all subsequent dates are formatted.
This is only a first pass, I am considering changing this to be
$lang = Date::Language->new('German');
$lang->time2str("%a %b %e %T %Y
", time);
I am open to suggestions on this.
CONVERSION SPECIFICATION
Each conversion specification is replaced by appropriate characters as described in the following list. The appropriate
characters are determined by the LC_TIME category of the program's locale.
%% PERCENT
%a day of the week abbr
%A day of the week
%b month abbr
%B month
%c MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
%C ctime format: Sat Nov 19 21:05:57 1994
%d numeric day of the month, with leading zeros (eg 01..31)
%e numeric day of the month, without leading zeros (eg 1..31)
%D MM/DD/YY
%h month abbr
%H hour, 24 hour clock, leading 0's)
%I hour, 12 hour clock, leading 0's)
%j day of the year
%k hour
%l hour, 12 hour clock
%L month number, starting with 1
%m month number, starting with 01
%M minute, leading 0's
%n NEWLINE
%o ornate day of month -- "1st", "2nd", "25th", etc.
%p AM or PM
%P am or pm (Yes %p and %P are backwards :)
%q Quarter number, starting with 1
%r time format: 09:05:57 PM
%R time format: 21:05
%s seconds since the Epoch, UCT
%S seconds, leading 0's
%t TAB
%T time format: 21:05:57
%U week number, Sunday as first day of week
%w day of the week, numerically, Sunday == 0
%W week number, Monday as first day of week
%x date format: 11/19/94
%X time format: 21:05:57
%y year (2 digits)
%Y year (4 digits)
%Z timezone in ascii. eg: PST
%z timezone in format -/+0000
%d, %e, %H, %I, %j, %k, %l, %m, %M, %q, %y and %Y can be output in Roman numerals by prefixing the letter with "O", e.g. %OY will output
the year as roman numerals.
