FT_MONTH()
 Return Calendar or Fiscal Month Data

 Syntax

      FT_MONTH( [ <dGivenDate> ], [nMonthNum] ) -> aDateInfo

 Arguments

     <dGivenDate> is any valid date in any date format.  Defaults
     to current system date if not supplied.

     <nMonthNum> is a number from 1 to 12 signifying a month.
     Defaults to current month if not supplied.

 Returns

     A three element array containing the following data:

        aDateInfo[1] - The year and month as a character string "YYYYMM"
        aDateInfo[2] - The beginning date of the month
        aDateInfo[3] - The ending date of the month

 Description

     FT_MONTH() returns an array containing data about the month
     containing the given date.

     Normally the return data will be based on a year beginning
     on January 1st with weeks beginning on Sunday.

     The beginning of year date and/or beginning of week day can be
     changed by using FT_DATECNFG(), which will affect all subsequent
     calls to FT_MONTH() until another call to FT_DATECNFG().

     The beginning of year date and beginning of week day may be reset
     to January 1 and Sunday by calling FT_DATECNFG() with no
     parameters.

 Examples

     // get info about month containing 9/15/90
     aDateInfo := FT_MONTH( CTOD("09/15/90") )
     ? aDateInfo[1]   //  199009       (9th month)
     ? aDateInfo[2]   //  09/01/90     beginning of month 9
     ? aDateInfo[3]   //  09/30/90     end of week month 9

     // get info about month 5 in year containing 9/15/90
     aDateInfo := FT_MONTH( CTOD("09/15/90"), 5 )
     ? aDateInfo[1]   //  199005
     ? aDateInfo[2]   //  05/01/90   beginning of month 5
     ? aDateInfo[3]   //  05/31/90   end of month 5

     // get info about month 5 in current year (1991)
     aDateInfo := FT_MONTH( , 5 )
     ? aDateInfo[1]   //  199105
