Hi,

You should be able to use the date command as follows/

Code:
DATE=$(date -d "+2 days")

You don't say what the OS is so your local date command may vary.

Hi,

The option that I've pointed out should work fine in AIX 7.1 use the
Code:
man date

command for further information.

We get asked how to do date math in AIX so often I made a perl script for it. It's a GNU-date-alike that supports the "-d" option. It shouldn't require you to install any fancy modules.
