Hi Maria:
There is no function that I know of to get the last day. A technique that I have used is this:
(((date+31)/100*100+1)(date))-1
/* The addition of 31 takes any date into the next month.
The division by 100 removes the day portion of the date.
The multiplication by 100 puts back 00 in the day portion.
The addition of 1 makes it the first day of the month when
it is converted back into a date.
The subtraction of 1 makes it that last day of the previous
month */
/* If you wanted the last day of the current month, eliminate
the addition of 31 */
Hope this helps.
Mike
