This should work

select decode(to_char(sysdate,'MON'),'FEB',last_day(sysdate -

28),'SEP',last_day(sysdate-30),


'APR',last_day(sysdate-30),

'JUN',last_day(sysdate-30),
'NOV',last_day(sysdate-30),

last_day(sysdate-31)) from dual;

Do a to_char around last_day if you want a special format.

Hello All,

My condolences to you if you are working today. As I am too, I know how it feels! Anyway, I have a strange request from one of my users. On an insert statement, they want to be able to insert the current sysdate, minus one month, and make it the last day of that month? Make sense???

        IE: current sysdate is July 3, 2000 they would want----> June 30, 2000

Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this????

TIA
cheers!
