Re: date processing for end of week

OK there are a couple of code help I need here.

1. I want to add say 45 days to the current date.

today = %date();
futureDate = today + %days(45);

2. I then want to know, what is the next Friday for #1.

The other posts have suggested a couple of ways to do this. I like the solution that Booth suggests:

define a constant KNOWN_FRIDAY value d'1900-01-05'

/free
// calculate future date as above
daysUntilFriday = 7 - %rem(
%diff(futureDate - KNOWN_FRIDAY : *days) :
7
);
nextFriday = futureDate + %days(daysUntilFriday);

/end-free
