Re: Calculate the 20th of next month

I have always felt that %SubDt should be allowed on the left-hand side. In fact I thought the original design called for that but one way or another it didn't happen.

Why invent a new BIF when there is a perfectly good one already? After all %SubDt is deliberately named to sound similar to %Subst - as it should be. %Subst can be used on the right or left side - why not %SubDt??

You need to refer back to Rob's post.

He throwing out the idea of a DCR to allow %Month(), %Day() to be on
the right hand side.

Basically a "set the xxxx of this date to yyyyy"

%day('2009-10-06') = 20; would result in '2009-10-20'
