RE: Adding 1 to date

If you need to do it in CL you may find it easiest to use CVTDAT and convert
your date to a Julian Date, add 1, and do a CVTDAT back to your date format
of choice.  MONMSG on the CVTDAT command for  an invalid date.  *LONGJUL or
*JUL should work well.  The only error message the second CVTDAT command is
likely to get is on the last day of the year.  You will want to fuss with
that.

I would call an RPG program myself to retrieve and change the date. It's
much easier with ADDDUR or %Days than it is in CL. You have to take into
account leap year and different number of days in a month and crossing
boundaries and such. It's a one-liner in RPG...ok...maybe 10.
