Setting or Displaying Low Account Month

Use this command to set or display the Low Account Month for the running application.

The Low Account Month prevents the application from accepting any transactions that have an earlier date (specified by the built-in attribute ActMth). The default value is the year and month that the application was initiated.

Any valid Low Account Month remains in effect until a new one is specified. The value of the Low Account Month is stored in the application database.

Note: A Low Account Month value might exceed the High Account Month value to allow for change of century.
