Sorry, I don't know any quick dodge in Windows to calculate "next Saturday's date". You already have the YYYY, MM, DD values needed to seed the calculation but not today's day of the week.
Quote:
set Pdate=%date:~10,4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%
Btw Your date format in %date% must be quite different from mine.
Mine is in the format "dd/mm/yyyy" (10 characters).
Therefore yyyymmdd=%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2%
