elegant solution for 'simple' problem?

[paul_s]

Hi, I'm writing a program which logs data to a text file. I want to change the file name each month. I need a subvi which will compare the month of the current iteration with the month of the last. I use get date/time in seconds, pass to seconds to date/time, then unbundle by month. If I use a subvi with a 1 iteration while loop with shift reg, it obviously doesnt do what I want. Anyone have a way I can flag a boolean from a subvi using a similar (but working) method?

Thanks, Paul.S

The solution you describe should work (as long as you don't shutdown the software). Post your code in 6.0 format and I'll look at it.Mike...
