Well...

  To put it bluntly.   No.

  There is no built-in mechanism for seeing if the current day is indeed the
last day of the month.  Assuming you want to do this via JCL I am providing
a quick and dirty little command file I wrote for determining what the last
day of the month is.  Obviously you would simply call the command file and
check to see if HPDATE is equal to EOM (the variable that the command file
returns, and not so coinsidentaly the name of the command file.)


parm p1="!hpmonth" p2="!hpyyyy"
setvar _eom_month !["!p1"]
setvar _eom_year  !["!p2"]
if _eom_month=2 then
  setvar eom 28+( (1/(1+(_eom_year mod   4))) - &
                  (1/(1+(_eom_year mod 100))) + &
                  (1/(1+(_eom_year mod 400))) )
else
  setvar eom 30+(((_eom_month+(_eom_month / 8)) *3) mod 2)
endif
echo End of month !_eom_month/!_eom_year is !eom
deletevar _eom_@

The command file provided above does no error checking and unfortunately
does use 1 IF statement.  I just wrote this command file so I can't
guarantee that it works, although some quick testing seems to indicate that
it does.  Good luck.
