The code is clearly a bad adaptation of a clever script to calculate yesterday's date.
It basically it would work for yesterday's date with:
But it does not work for tomorrow's date with:
Btw. I get a syntax error with "fmt -1" .
What Operating System and Shell are you using?
There may be better ways to do this depending on what Operating System and Shell you have.
As it stands the script is repairable by changing the logic to suite future dates.
The script contains a method for finding the last day of the month from the output of unix "cal". You'd need to determine whether the day in question is the last day of this month before deciding how to increment day month and year.

DESCRIPTION
This module provides routines to format dates. They correspond to the libc routines. &strftime() supports a pretty good set of coversions
-- more than most C libraries.
strftime supports a pretty good set of conversions.
The POSIX module has very similar functionality. You should consider using it instead if you do not have allergic reactions to system
libraries.
