Kornshell convdate
Thanks for the advice. Had a feeling I was way off track.

Think the code you gave me would work. Tried typing cc and got the message that I don't have execute permissions.

Think I might be out of my league now. I am only a standard user on the system. However, being a VB programmer with a very weekly manual process I thought I could automate it. Went on a Unix course before christmas and it looked quite straightforward. Little did I know our version of Unix wouldn't have convdate nor does it have a personal cron file. I very much doubt I'll have access to the system cron so I might just give up. Good bit of tinkering whilst the office is quiet over the christmas period.

Looks like I won't be able to compile the convdate function code. Think I might just give up.

Sound good to you? Feel free to convince me otherwise! Beginning to feel that my VB is much much easier!
