    My requirement is different.

    Not according to what you posted. Capture the output in a temp table and apply a Tally table to get the dates.

  • Quick question... are you the same Karthikeyan that is a "Senior Software Engineer" working on a PHD or are you someone else?

  • Ah... my very bad then... you are a different Karthik than the one I'm used to working with. Someone showed me that there are two people with the same "Karthikeyan" handle on this forum and I didn't know that was possible. The one I've worked with in the past knows all about the Tally table. My most humble apologies for the confusion.

    I'm on my way to work... I'll try to bang this out during lunch unless someone beats me to it.
