Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Shell Script to Loop through Quarter dates Post 303002414 by jgt on Wednesday 23rd of August 2017 09:25:07 PM
Old 08-23-2017
I noticed a slight error in my original script.
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
fi
 do sql with $quarter $start $end done <quarter_file

Also if you need to re-run an old report, just force a value for 'today'.
I would presume that if you run the report in July, you are expecting 4 quarterly reports for the previous fiscal year.
