Hello Everyone,



I am trying to set a DateFieldA equal to DateFieldB + 30 days. I know how to do this using Date/Time fields but I am getting an error trying the same method with Date Only fields. Can someone let me know how this can be accomplished?



TIA,

Roger,
You should be able to accomplish this using the DATEADD function. For example to set DateFieldA equal to DateFieldB + 30 days, this would be the set fields value:

DATEADD( "dd",30,$DateFieldB$)

There is a bug in the documentation that fails to indicate the required quotes around the datepart argument ("dd").

HTH,

Thomas

Is DATEADD a 5.12 feature? I ask because I'm in a 5.01 environment and don't see it in my function pick list off of a set field action.

Chris,
I believe this function was added in ARS 5.1, along with the new DATE and TIME field types. So if you are on ARS 5.0, you wouldn't have it (I'm assuming your full version number is 5.00.01).
