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.

cal
CAL(1) BSD General Commands Manual CAL(1)NAME
cal -- displays a calendar
SYNOPSIS
cal [-smjy13] [[[day] month] year]
DESCRIPTION
Cal displays a simple calendar. If arguments are not specified, the current month is displayed. The options are as follows:
-1 Display single month output. (This is the default.)
-3 Display prev/current/next month output.
-s Display Sunday as the first day of the week.
-m Display Monday as the first day of the week.
-j Display Julian dates (days one-based, numbered from January 1).
-y Display a calendar for the current year.
-V Display version information and exit.
A single parameter specifies the year (1 - 9999) to be displayed; note the year must be fully specified: ``cal 89'' will not display a calen-
dar for 1989. Two parameters denote the month (1 - 12) and year. Three parameters denote the day (1-31), month and year, and the day will
be highlighted if the calendar is displayed on a terminal. If no parameters are specified, the current month's calendar is displayed.
A year starts on Jan 1. The first day of the week is determined by the locale.
The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on the 3rd of September. By this time, most countries had recognized the ref-
ormation (although a few did not recognize it until the early 1900's.) Ten days following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so
the calendar for that month is a bit unusual.
HISTORY
A cal command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
OTHER VERSIONS
Several much more elaborate versions of this program exist, with support for colors, holidays, birthdays, reminders and appointments, etc.
For example, try the cal from http://home.sprynet.com/~cbagwell/projects.html or GNU gcal.
AVAILABILITY
The cal command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
