Function module for getting month and year of the previous month (say -6)

Question

Hi,
Is there a function module that will get you the month and year of say, a month before, and as far as 11 months ago.
For example, say today is 6/2007. I want 7 months ago.
How do i get this value?
What function module or method is available?
Points will be rewarded and responses will be appreciated.
Thank You,
John

Hi
lv_period gives the month and year which is two months earlier now as we have specified lv_months as -2.
    DATA: LV_PERIOD LIKE S001-SPMON,
          LV_MONTHS(2) TYPE C VALUE '2-',
          LV_DATUM LIKE SY-DATUM,
          LV_NEWDT LIKE SY-DATUM,
        P_SPMON LIKE S001-SPMON VALUE '200601'.
    CONCATENATE P_SPMON '01' INTO LV_DATUM.
    LV_PERIOD = P_SPMON+0(6).
    CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_PLUS_DETERMINE'
         EXPORTING
              MONTHS  = LV_MONTHS
              OLDDATE = LV_DATUM
        IMPORTING
             NEWDATE = LV_NEWDT
         EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS  = 1.
     IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
       LV_PERIOD = LV_NEWDT+0(6).
     ENDIF.
WRITE :/ LV_PERIOD.
OR
Use the following FM for getting the year and the month based on date
CACS_DATE_GET_YEAR_MONTH
or
Call Function 'CCM_GO_BACK_MONTHS '.
Funny module: 03/31/2002 - 1 month = 02/31/2002
OR
RE_ADD_MONTH_TO_DATE ( Add / substract month to/from date )
