today = %date();
futureDate = today + %days(45);

The other posts have suggested a couple of ways to do this.  I like the 
solution that Booth suggests:

define a constant KNOWN_FRIDAY value d'1900-01-05'

/free
 // calculate future date as above
 daysUntilFriday = 7 - %rem(
                            %diff(futureDate - KNOWN_FRIDAY : *days) :
                            7
                            );
 nextFriday = futureDate + %days(daysUntilFriday);

/end-free
