Are there any date functions on server. Need to write script to generate datestamp.

[Jack C. Mahaffey]

I'm writing a script where I need a date generate capability where I can get yesterdays or a previous or future date returned. Any ideas.

I assume you are running on a unix platform. Try:

She gives separate scripts for the yesterday, tomorrow, add days and subtract days.

Hi Jack:

I'ver attached my latest version and it should solve almost any problem you want.

e.g.

3 days previous
XDAY=$(caljd.sh $(caljd.sh -p 3))

5 days from now UNLESS that falls on a weekend then skip to the next day)

XDAY=$(caljd.sh $(caljd.sh -n 5 -x 0 -x 6))

Same as above except skip holidays.
XDAY=$(caljd.sh $(caljd.sh -n 5 -x 0 -x 6 -h))

Tomorrow in YYYY-MM-DD output format
XDAY=$(caljd.sh -S '-' -y) $(caljd.sh -n 1))

You can do a caljd.sh -u for full usage.

Enjoy, Clay
