Hi Venkat,

ultimo+6(2) = '01'. 'What this statment is doing'

it changes current day (21 for today date) to '01'.

Check this link for learning ABAP.

"Ultimo" mean "Last one" in Spanish.

If sy-datum EQ '20060421', that statement convert to '20060401'.... may be he must call "Primero" (Spanish for "First One")....

Hi,

ultimo+6(2) = '01'. 'What this statment is doing'

The date will have dd,mm and yy components, This statement is setting the dd (DATE) to the first day of the month.

ultimo = ultimo - 1.

After getting the first day of the month, this is setting subtracting a day from that, that means now the month will have the last day of the previous month.

Venkat,

In order to prevent yourself from becoming yet another "hack" in this field, please get some formal training in ABAP (from SAP, preferrably).

BC400 is wonderful, "starter" class.

Some general classes in Database design, program structuring, and operating systems would also be very beneficial.
