How Do I Calculate the Beginning of the Month of a Given Date? (Magic xpa 3.x)

It is very often the case that one needs to compute the first day of the month, especially for setting the date range for reports. There is a very quick way to do this, using the BOM() function.

Using the BOM() function

The syntax of BOM() is:

BOM(date)

Where date is any date variable (or a hard-coded date, such as '05/06/2008'DATE, or an expression that evaluates to a date). It returns the first day of the month.
