code to get past months

Hi,

The foll. is the code from the sdn posting for calculating past 12 months from a given date.

data: olddate like sy-datum,

newdate like sy-datum.

clear: olddate, newdate.

now pass given year/period to olddate, then use below function module.

CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_PLUS_DETERMINE'

EXPORTING

months = '-12'

olddate = olddate

IMPORTING

NEWDATE = newdate.

if i want to try out the code that is above to understand how it works, can i just copy paste in se38 and just change the olddate as parameter , so that i can enter a date, will it work or how should i test. can anyone help me here.

Thanks

Ravi
