Hi,

You can do by this process..

1. Find the current month number by the function 'MonthFromDate'.. If you give MonthFromDate(2004-07-15) , it will return 07, i,e July..

2. write your own logic (12 if-then else loop) to find the last day of the previous month..

Hi,

For perfect result, You should use 'Trim' function before using 'Left' function because the argument is a string.. So your syntax should be like Left(Trim(string_var),1)

Hi RStone,

If you replace the Basic Transformer by a PX Transformer then your 'SIGBUS'/'SIGINT'/Mutex error may not come into the picture. I have also faced the similer problem.
