If and Statement with Date Range as one condition

Hi!

 

I'm attempting to write an If statement that is needs to Check the "Posting Date" column for a value that is not the first day of that month (Not the current month) I also need it to ensure a different column has the term "DEM_ACC in it. I think its returning the first of the current month and not the month I need (April) but I cannot figure out how to make it work.

 

Here is what I have so far, but I cant get the date functionality to work for me

 

IF [Posting Date]>DateTimeFirstOfMonth() AND
[Type Code 1]="DEM_ACC"
THEN "1"
ELSE "0"
ENDIF

Another tip ..... don't use

 

THEN "1"

 

that creates a string field that is (really) a number, instead use

 

THEN 1

 

make sure the datatype is numeric and that makes it easier to add later without the need to change datatypes again
