The last date of previous month:

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - DAY(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)

If you need the date normalized (time of 12:00AM), then:

SELECT CAST(CONVERT(CHAR(8),
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - DAY(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),
112) AS DATETIME)

One way:

declare @.dt datetime
set @.dt = getdate()
select dateadd(dd, -datepart(dd, @.dt), @.dt)
select convert(char(8), dateadd(dd, -datepart(dd, @.dt), @.dt), 112)

Simon|||Simple date arithmatic. Take first of current month (ie. 5/1/2004)
and subtract 1 day.
