AW: Date Arithmetic

[Becker Stephan (extern)]

Yup, I tried this as well a while ago and just couldn't get it to tick
over.. in an arithmetic operation in a program it works like a treat, =
but in
a container operation it says no thanks.. I think it has something to =
do
with the internal date format -- in the container you have the "real" =
date,
in a program you see the real date, but internally, it's a number (some
clever conversion algorithm, 01/01/2000 is something like 6492304987) =
that
you can add to easily..

Hi Guys,
 
Am I doing something wrong or is there no way to add a day to a date
container
element using a container operation?
 
For Example, If i have a container element which is declared as =
syst-datum
and
i want to add 1 day to it. If i try to do this in a container operation =
it
tells me that '1' is not a valid date format. Do I really have to =
create a
method to do this?
 
Regards,
