This should do it.

SELECT DECODE(TO_CHAR(LAST_DAY(SYSDATE), 'DAY')

             ,'FRIDAY', SYSDATE
             ,NEXT_DAY(LAST_DAY(SYSDATE), 'FRIDAY') - 7)

from dual
/

In brief, if the last day of the month is a Friday, return the last day of the month. If not, find the last day of the month, find the next Friday
(first Friday of next month) and go back one week to get the last Friday of
the month.

All,

Anyone know how I can select the last Friday in every month from dual. I just can't seem to figure this out. I am trying to test a job that needs to be submitted via dbms_job.isubmit on that day.
