Your solution returns "29" on HP-UX Does it work on your UNIX flavor? -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 11:40 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Well, you can do date functions in Unix. The date function is date. It's not normal, because Unix Commands are supposed to be cryptic. But, you could do the following. You'll want to test it because no to Unii are the same... cal|tail -2|head -1|awk '{print $NF}' (last day of current month) cal 2 2001|tail -2|head -1|awk '{print $NF}' (last day of February 2001) HTH, Bambi. -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 8:55 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L -- Sinard Xing > Hi, > > Is there any function that can display out "last day of the month" for > example > lastday(Oct,2001) return me 31 > Or a variable that store this value. > > Is Date an object in unix ? Check the Date::Manip package. The simplest way is to check for UnixDate( 'tommorrow', '%d') == 1 ? 'last day of month', 'not last day'; -- Steven Lembark 2930 W.
