Not sure how *much* help you need, so we'll start with this: Use 'iconv' to convert your dates to internal format and then do your manipulation from there. Convert dates back out using 'oconv'. The online help available from within the client is very good, so don't be afraid to poke around there. You can also look in the Manager under Routines - depending on your version there are usually 'example' or 'sdk' sections with many prewritten routines that you can steal code from.

Hope this helps,
