semiMonthEnd

Syntax

semiMonthEnd(X, [dayOfMonth=15], [offset], [n=1])

Arguments

X is a scalar/vector of data type DATE, DATEHOUR, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP or NANOTIMESTAMP.

dayOfMonth is an integer between 2 and 27. The default value is 15.

offset is a scalar of the same data type as X. It must be no greater than the minimum value of X. The default value is the minimum value of X.

n is a positive integer. The default value is 1.

Details

Suppose X is the d-th day of the month:

  • If d<dayOfMonth: return the last day of the previous month.

  • If d>=dayOfMonth: return the dayOfMonth-th day of the current month.

If parameter offset is specified, the result is updated every n semi-months. Parameter offset works only if parameter n>1.

 $ semiMonthEnd(2012.06.12);
 2012.05.31

 $ semiMonthEnd(2012.06.24);
 2012.06.15

 $ semiMonthEnd(2012.06.15);
 2012.06.15

 $ semiMonthEnd(2012.06.16, 16);
