RE: date math in CL

GA:

I can copy/paste and send easily enough when I have my own sample stuff just 
sitting around. It's effectively impossible to send "production" quality code 
which includes proper error handling, messaging, etc., etc. In this case, I 
messed around with a number of CEE* APIs and had a ready made sample. I left 
out fc simply because I didn't need it to demonstrate these APIs to myself.

I gotta figure others will use samples as a guideline. They can see the 
structure and enough detail to find everything else in the proper manuals. 
Besides, sample code should _never_ be included without first understanding the 
details... well, unless it's your own system or similarly unrestricted.

Now, the feedback code -- fc -- is common across many of the CEE* APIs. 
Learning to handle it is the subject of a different thread. It certainly ought 
to be handled properly in _production_ code, but can clutter simple examples. 
In this case, the question was essentially direct: How can date math be done in 
CL? The sample, which you also worked out, can be just as direct. Uncluttered, 
minimum details to show the process.

Send another question explicitly about fc and let's see how many kinds of 
responses exist. That could be a big learning experience for all of us -- me 
included.
