Hi, I want to add one year to the current date and display it.
I tried

put the date into tDate
   convert tDate to dateItems
   add 1 to item 1 of tdate
   convert tdate to abbrev date
   put abbrev date into fld "date"

but all I got was today's (unchanged) date.
Any ideas why it didn't add the year to the abbrev date - it added it to the tdate before converting to abbrev date.

Hi CAsba,

the last line is the culprit!
"the abbr date" will give you AGAIN the current date, but you want the vonverted content of tDate:

Code: Select all

put the date into tDate
convert tDate to dateItems
add 1 to item 1 of tdate
convert tdate to abbrev date
## put abbrev date into fld "date"
put tDate into fld "date"

Best

Klaus
