Sure, assuming your date field is named Date:

LET vLastDate = peek('Date');

LET vBeforeLastDate = peek('Date',-2);

If you want the max and second highest try:

Temp:

load max(Date) as Max1, max(Date,2) as Max2

Resident ...table_with_dates...;

LET vMax1 = peek('Max1');

LET vMax2 = peek('Max2');

drop Table Temp;

You can use the variables like this:

load * from ...sometable...

where OrderDate <= $(vLastDate) ;
