Date operation in AX using x++ help!

Hello,

I want to be able to subtract months from the current date. I have found solutions to add days/months but nothing to go back in time.

Is this possible in AX?

Thanks,

Charu

    I can subtract days by simply doing, for eg.  'today() - 6', but what I really need is months.

    If you know how to add month, why can't you add a negative number of months?

    For example, you can use use DateTimeUtil::addMonths(d1, -3) to subtract three months. (This function works with utcdatetime, so you have to convert your date to utcdatetime and back).
