Firstly do you understand how the existing code works? If not then the first task is to understand it. If necessary put some debug code in to display or log variables so you can work out what is going on. Once you understand how the code works then again look in the log file and use debug techniques to run through with a month that is not working and see why it does not work. Almost certainly you will then see the problem for yourself, if not then come back here show us the couple of lines of code that does not do as you expect and no doubt someone will help.
