I am trying to do two things. One is take a date and add 30 to it. This is what I have so far. Also the LAST_CONTACT_DT is in P9 format.


DEFINE FILE FDI001
NEXTFOLLOWDATE/YYMD=FDI001.FDI001.FDI001_LAST_CONTACT_DT + 30


When I display NEXTFOLLOWDATE it returns this


Last contact dt
20100820

Next follow date
20100850


It should show


Last contact dt
20100820
Next follow date
20100919




The next thing I am trying to do is see how many days open an account has been. This is what I have so far. Also DT_REPORTED is in P9 format.


DEFINE FILE FDI001
CurrentDate/P9=20100903;
BEGDTI/I8YYMD=CurrentDate;
ENDDTI/I8YYMD=FDI001.FDI001.FDI001_DT_REPORTED;
BEGDT/YYMD=ENDDTI;
ENDDT/YYMD=ENDDTI;
DIFFDAYS/I4=BEGDT - ENDDT;


Once I display DIFFDAYS all I get are 0.

FYI

The reason why your second option did not work is that you set the Begin and End dated the same.

BEGDT/YYMD=ENDDTI;
ENDDT/YYMD=ENDDTI;


As for adding a value to a date, if its stored ina P9, then its a number, you need to convert to a Smart Date, as you did in your second option.

This is basic stuff.
