There is, but you should have done a search before that.
Last date of the previous month -
Code: Select all
DateFromDaysSince(-1, StringToDate(RUN_DT, "%yyyy%mm") : "%yyyy-%mm-%dd")
And First day of the previous month -
Code: Select all
StringToDate('01':MonthFromDate(RUN_DT,"yyyy%mm%dd")-1,YearFromDate(RUN_DT,"yyyy%mm%dd"))
Here RUN_DT is in yyyy%mm%dd.
And its better to use a stage variable for Month and Year, so the calculatin for December and January can be taken care with If - Then - Else.

Yeah Kumar is right and the code is also correct. create a stage variable for date and then give the derivations.
