Date value in report template Query

Question

Hello - I have a report that is scheduled to run every first day of month. It extracts the data and reports the all orders information for the last month i.e. if the report is running on September 1st 2010 then it will show the data for the August 2010.
My report heading needs to be in format as below:
Total Number of orders Report As of <MON> YYYY
For example;
Total Number of Orders As of AUG 2010
Total Number of Orders As of JULY 2010
Can you guys please tell me how to set this format in RTF template.
BIP verion: 10.1.3.4
I tried this format <?xdoxslt:sysdate('DD-MON-yyyy')?> but apparently I can not subtract from this i.e. <?xdoxslt:sysdate('DD-MON-yyyy') -1?>

Answer 1

using this <?xdoxslt:ora_format_date_offset(xdoxslt:sysdate(),2,’+’)?> is showing me an output of 100831 if i run it now which is the same date as of sysdate.
However i found this and it worked
<?format-date:(xdoxslt:ora_format_date_offset(xdoxslt:sysdate('YYYY-MM-DD'),31,'-'));'MON-YYYY'?>
To be pricise I used:
As of <?format-date:(xdoxslt:ora_format_date_offset(xdoxslt:sysdate('YYYY-MM-DD'),31,'-'));'MON YYYY'?>
In my final template I will have like this:
As of <?format-date:(xdoxslt:ora_format_date_offset(xdoxslt:sysdate('YYYY-MM-DD'),1,'-'));'MON YYYY'?>
Thanks for your help though
