REXX

This REXX example is an exact replication of the find last Fridays of each month for any year except for the innards of the first DO loop. <lang rexx>/*REXX program displays dates of last Sundays of each month for any year*/ parse arg yyyy

                  do j=1 for  12
                  _ = lastDOW('Sunday', j, yyyy)
                  say right(_,4)'-'right(j,2,0)"-"left(word(_,2),2)
                  end  /*j*/

exit /*stick a fork in it, we're done.*/
