Re: Adding 1 to date

["Booth Martin" <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But is *LILIAN a valid format Scott?  If he has to use an API and all that
entails then he might as well write an RPG program and be done with it.

Does REXX  have a function for this?  That might be even easier?

The reason I prefer Lilian to Julian is that Julian won't work properly
across years. A Julian date consists of the year followed by the day
number within the year.  Since December 31 is the 365th day of the year,
the last day of this year is 05365 in Julian format.
 
If you add 1 to 05365, you get 05366 which isn't a valid Julian date.
 
When you use Lilian dates (see my other message for an example) you don't
have this problem.
