Answer 1

How about using current date and date arithmetics?

WHERE TRAN_DATE BETWEEN current date and (current date - 1 month)

If you need the YYYYMMDD format, you can convert like this:

YEAR(CURRENT DATE) * 10000 + MONTH(CURRENT DATE) * 100 + DAY(CURRENT DATE)

Answer 2

If TRANS_DATE is a number then

WHERE TRANS_DATE BETWEEN INTEGER(TO_CHAR(CURRENT DATE,'YYYYMMDD')) AND 
                         INTEGER(TO_CHAR(CURRENT DATE - 1 MONTH,'YYYYMMDD'))

If it is a string then

WHERE TRANS_DATE BETWEEN TO_CHAR(CURRENT DATE,'YYYYMMDD') AND 
                         TO_CHAR(CURRENT DATE - 1 MONTH,'YYYYMMDD')
