I am trying to use DATEADD(DATE, 'M', 1.999) in my report. Below is the report source code.

I found the function DATEADD @
https://infocenter.information...ce%2Fdatasource4.htm

I got an error like

Change Case
>BY>
BY DIM_MONTH


TABLE FILE SQLOUT
SUM
IT_DAYS
IT_DAYSADJ
SPT_DAYS
SPT_DAYSADJ
COMPUTE RUN_TOT/D12.2M = IF OFF_ENGAGE_ID
EQ LAST OFF_ENGAGE_ID THEN ( RUN_TOT + IT_DAYSADJ + SPT_DAYSADJ )
ELSE IT_DAYSADJ + SPT_DAYSADJ; AS 'IT_DAYS_TOTAL'
REL_DATE_ADJ

REL_DATE/MDY = DATEADD(REL_DATE_ADJ, 'D', 1)

BY DIM_MONTH
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLEMBEDIMG ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/warm.sty,
$
ENDSTYLE
END



I appreciate if you advise me how to add a number to a date.

You have DATEADD in the middle of the code without any of the required COMPUTE syntax.

You need to use that in a DEFINE or a COMPUTE statement and to add 1.99 to a month does seem valid, it should be 1 or 2


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Thank you for your time and you advice. I am new to DATEADD function and App Studio. Looks like that it is a little hard for me understand your advice.

I also try DATEADD(REL_DATE_ADJ, 'D', 1). It doesn't work either.

My goal is to add a new column that is a date (REL_DATE_ADJ) minus a number. The number is from

COMPUTE RUN_TOT/D12.2M = IF OFF_ENGAGE_ID
EQ LAST OFF_ENGAGE_ID THEN ( RUN_TOT + IT_DAYSADJ + SPT_DAYSADJ )
ELSE IT_DAYSADJ + SPT_DAYSADJ; AS 'IT_DAYS_TOTAL'
