Thanks to past posts here we've got date math to work on BPCS dates.  For 
example:

Today       = Current (Date)
DA      = Digits (BPCS Date Field)
DB      = Date (Substr (DA,5,2)||'/'||
              Substr (DA,7,2)||'/'||
              Substr (DA,3,2))
Days_Ago    = Days (Today) - Days (DB)

Query Selection

Days_Ago    LE  7   and other stuff

Now I want to figure another direction: add lead time days to current date, 
to get how far out is safe to accept customer order changes without factory 
disruption.

We have populated a file with cumulative lead time to manufacture end item, 
including ordering raw materials and how long to manufacture in house, 
assuming got enuf raw.  Now we want to use this in queries.  The lead time 
days fields are 3 long with zero decimal places.

Plan_Date   = Current (Date) + Lead

This is not allowed
Date, Time, or Tmestamp expression is not correct
"Lead" is what is highlighted as problem point

In_Lead = Days (Digits (Lead))

It accepts this as a valid line

Plan_Date   = Current (Date) + In_Lead

It is not accepting In_Lead either as valid days to add to current date

Is it obvious to anyone where I'm not connecting with Query/400 date math 
logic?

I can write an RPG to do this.  What I want is an AL GO RHYTHM that I can 
supply to my query users, so that they can use the cumulative lead time in my 
new file.

Thanks
