Here is a solution:
. . . # Now loop for beginning qtr and ending qtr while (Date_to_Days(@x) < Date_to_Days(@y)) { my @qtr_end_date=Add_Delta_YMD(@x, 0,3,-1); my $diff=Date_to_Days(@qtr_end_date)-Date_to_Days(@e_dt); print "DIFF $diff\n"; if (abs($diff)<60) { @qtr_end_date=@e_dt; } printf("%4d-%02d-%02d\t%4d-%02d-%02d\t%sQ%01d\n", @x, @qtr_end_date, substr($x[0],2,2), $qtr); @x = Add_Delta_YMD(@x, 0,3,0); # roll over quarter to 1, beyond 4 $qtr++; $qtr = $qtr > 4 ? 1 : $qtr; } . . .
This is tested for your two cases. I am curious why you would want output which truncates the last quarter?
