Need help with date arithmetic please

Hello fellow forum members,

I wrote below piece of code to calculate the date after a given date -
Code:
date=$DATE_FINAL
declare -a  max_month=(0 31 28 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31)
eval $(echo $date|sed 's!\(....\)\(..\)\(..\)!year=\1;month=\2;day=\3!')
(( year4=year%4 ))
(( year100=year%100 ))
(( year400=year%400 ))
if [ \( $year4 -eq 0 -a \
        $year100 -ne 0 \) -o \
     $year400 -eq 0 ]
then
declare -a  max_month=(0 31 28 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31)
fi
day=$((day+1))
if [ $day -gt ${max_month[$month]} ] >| /wload/baot/home/baoted9/logs_bde27_conversion_1/ataa_display.logs 2>&1
then
  day=1
  month=$((month+1))
  if [ $month -gt 12 ]
  then
    year=$((year+1))
    month=1
  fi
fi
if [ $month -eq "08" ] ||  [ $month -eq "09" ]
then
future_date_final=$(echo $year"$month"$day)
else
future_date_final=$(printf "%4.4d%2.2d%2.2d" $year $month $day)
fi
echo "this is your final business date $future_date_final"

It calculates the date correctly however throws an error at the end of the code as below -
Code:
line 79: 08: value too great for base (error token is "08")

It just looks too ugly, not sure how to remove it as otherwise code is working fine, tried redirecting it to a log file still appearing.
Also, I am facing issue with below code for a plain cd command with code highlighted in red -
Code:
echo "pset  date $Param_date_1"
cd /wload/baot/home/baotasa0/sandboxes_finance/ext_ukba_bde/pset >| /wload/baot/home/baoted9/logs_bde27_conversion_1/at_display.logs 2>&1
sh UKBA_publish.sh UKBA $Param_date_1 3 >| /wload/baot/home/baoted9/logs_bde27_conversion_1/ate_display.logs 2>&1

Error is -
Code:
./auto2.sh: line 190: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Any leads will be greatly appreciated.
