datetime function month returns incorrect result
Hello,
I need to get summary data for every month, so in an apex class, I get the initial date as a parameter, it is date datatype, I convert it to datetime (that's what a need to send to the external web service) and iterate through the months. the problem is that i am getting incorrect month number from both datetime.month() and datetime.format('yyyy-MM-dd') functions for 3-rd and 4-th iterations.
Here is sysdem.debug otput for 4 iteratios. First value is the initial datetime dtfrom, second value is the result of datetime dttask = dtfrom.addMonths(i) (i changes from 0 to 3), third value is a result of formatting dttask.format('yyyy-MM-dd'), and 4-th values is dttask.month():
i = 0:

so for third iteration formatting returns the previous day and month is the previous month.
what's wrong with that? van anybody please help? Thank you very much for any input.
