Date function

[tolcis]

Hi!

I have a report that needs to be run on the seventh of every month for
the dates from 6th of the previous months to the 5th of the current
month. For example, I have to run a report on February 7th for the
01/06/2007 to 02/05/2007. Right now I am doing it manually but I was
curious if there a function or something that will give me the
required date range on the 7th of every month.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
T.

SELECT @today = convert(char(8), getdate(), 112)
IF DAY(@today) = 7
BEGIN
SELECT @startdate = dateadd(DAY, -2, dateadd(MONTH, -1, @today))
SELECT @enddate = dateadd(DAY, -1, @today)
--- Run uery
END
