just to drive that "other" programmer nuts!

instead of just knowing that last day of the year you can calculate it with big-o-stupid code:

endofyear and isodate are both defined as date types

endofyear = (((((%date() - %days(%subdt(%date():*d))+%days(1))) 
           - %months(%subdt(%date():*m))+%months(1) )           
           +%years(1))-%days(1) );
