Hi,
I have a statement end date that I need to figure the statement start date, which is exactly the same day but in the month previous.
for example
id bill_end_date bill_st_date
1 12Jan2011 12Dec2010
2 23Feb2011 23Jan2011
etc.
thanks for your help.
Something like this may get your started:
data have;
infile cards;
format bill_end_date date9.
bill_st_date date9.;
input id bill_end_date : date9.;
bill_st_date=intnx('mon', bill_end_date,-1,'sameday');
cards;
1 12Jan2011
2 23Feb2011
;
proc print;run;
Kindly Regards,

what happens to months with 31 days? I assume it goes to month end?
Bingo! It will go to the last day of the month. Try it for yourself, change 12Jan2011 to 31Mar2011, and see what happens.
