I can't seem to get this to work. I used it today and it only types
"error:invalid parameter"
Any ideas why? I inserted the code into a script instead of a function.
Might that be the issue? If I leave it as a function, how do I call the
results to a script where I can have the results inserted as text into my
application?

Hi Jason,
I notice that the function SysGetDate returns a string containing the
magic word "Error" when an incorrect date is entered. You can therefore use
a function similar to the one below to do what you want. It handles leap
years. You may want to include more safety features, and may well have a
different preferred date format, separation character etc, but you can play
with all that. I see that the first let finalDate line in the code has
wrapped.
String Function nextDay (string initialDate)
Var
int dayNumber,
int monthNumber,
int yearNumber,
string finalDate
let dayNumber = StringToInt (StringSegment (initialDate, "/", 2))
let monthNumber = StringToInt (StringSegment (initialDate, "/", 1))
let yearNumber = StringToInt (StringSegment (initialDate, "/", 3))
let finalDate = SysGetDate ("MM/dd/yyy", monthNumber, dayNumber+1,
yearNumber)
if (StringContains (finalDate, "Error")) then
let finalDate = SysGetDate ("MM/dd/yyy", monthNumber+1, 1, yearNumber)
if (StringContains (finalDate, "Error")) then
let finalDate = SysGetDate ("MM/dd/yyy", 1, 1, yearNumber+1)
endif
endif
return finalDate
EndFunction
