I have a need, in CL, to add 7 days to the current date and store it in a
variable.  I do not want to call an RPG program.  IBM commands and API
calls are acceptable.

For those thinking of using a julian date, that's fine, but I have to
accommodate the possibility of adding 7 days to December 26, and expecting
a valid date in return.  In fact, this is the route I'm currently
experimenting with, monitoring for errors on the CVTDAT command.  But if
there's a better way...

TIA,
GA
