Just try the following codes, see what you'll get!

-SET &ECHO = ALL;
-SET &CREATEDATE = TODAY('A10');
-SET &EDITDATE = EDIT('&CREATEDATE.EVAL','$$$$$$9999') || EDIT('&CREATEDATE.EVAL','99$$$$$$$$') || EDIT('&CREATEDATE.EVAL','$$$99$$$$$');
-SET &SOMETHING = DATEADD(&EDITDATE.EVAL, 'D', 14);
-TYPE &SOMETHING
-EXIT

you've used the wrong function
you need to use AYMD on &variables.
DATEADD only works on defined or extant database variables with specified formats.
Kindly tone down your blasphemy.
-s.

DM is the problem, never has been able to manage dates particularly well.

code it like

DATECVT(DATEADD(DATECVT(&EDITDATE.EVAL,'I8YYMD','YYMD'),'D',14),'YYMD','I8YYMD');

Thanks, problem solved.

Take a look at this: [CODE] Simplifying the use of Date functions in Dialogue Manager

Did you know that

-SET &CREATEDATE = TODAY('A10');
-SET &EDITDATE = EDIT('&CREATEDATE.EVAL','$$$$$$9999') || EDIT('&CREATEDATE.EVAL','99$$$$$$$$') || EDIT('&CREATEDATE.EVAL','$$$99$$$$$');

could be replaced by

-SET &EDITDATE = &YYMD;
