Assuming MRPDate is CYYMMDD and new date is the same format.

newDate = %dec(%date(MRPDate : *cymd) + %days(60) : *cymd);

Our MRP database stores dates in CYYMMDD as numeric. In the past we did
this:

C Eval Date8 = MRPDate
C Move Date8 Hthdte
C Adddur 60:*Days Hthdte
C Move Hthdte Date8
C Eval Newdte = Date8

I have recently been using Free format and can not find a solution using
free.

I searched the archives & could only find taking a date field to
numeric,
not numeric to a date field.

Thanks
