RE: Adding 1 to date

I would call an RPG program myself to retrieve and change the date. It's
much easier with ADDDUR or %Days than it is in CL. You have to take into
account leap year and different number of days in a month and crossing
boundaries and such. It's a one-liner in RPG...ok...maybe 10.
