Re: Calculate the 20th of next month

Why? I am not clear on why that would be?
A date field knows what it is - we don't need to check up on it. A date field knows that, for months, 1 comes after 12, and that the day before the first of a month can be 28, 29, 30, or 31.

We can add %months(13) also, or %days(1000). It keeps track.

Make sure you check for month = 13 as well... :)

Why not:

myDate = %date() + %months(1)
%day(myDate) = 20

or

myDate = %date() + %months(1)
myDate = %subdt(20: *days)

? Is that the same thing?
