DateToDate$ and DateBetween functions can be used for Date calculation. Below are two examples.

You can find the corresponding script file under Script_Examples, sub-directory of scripts.

'function which returns the date+1 after the specified date

function day_after$(date_cur$)

local a$

 

a$=DatetoDate$("d", 1, date_cur$)

day_after$=a$

endfunction

 

'Function call example to get the date of tomorrow

next_day$=day_after$(date$())

msgbox(next_day$)

Get the date for 10 days before today

date_10_before$=DatetoDate$("d", -10, date$())

msgbox(date_10_before$)
