That's how I would do it...add *MONTHS(1). And since they're true dates, you
don't need to worry about the year.

From the RPG manual:

When adding a duration in months to a date, the general rule is that the
month portion is increased by the number of months in the duration, and
the day portion is unchanged. The exception to this is when the
resulting day portion would exceed the actual number of days in the
resulting month. In this case, the resulting day portion is adjusted to
the actual month end date. The following examples (which assume a *YMD
format) illustrate this point.

   '98/05/30' ADDDUR 1:*MONTH results in '98/06/30' The resulting month
   portion has been increased by 1; the day portion is unchanged.

   '98/05/31' ADDDUR 1:*MONTH results in '98/06/30' The resulting month
portion has been increased by 1; the resulting day portion has been
adjusted because June has only 30 days.Similar results occur when adding
a year duration. For example, adding one year to '92/02/29' results in
'93/02/28', an adjusted value since the resulting year is not a leap year.
