Your question is a bit vague. Not clear whether you need to calculate this date or whether you just wish to provide the date as a parameter.
If you need to calculate this future date on a regular basis this is actually quite difficult even when processing the output from "DATE /T" using "Windows Scripting Host" or some other extension to Windows Batch. Try Microsoft Development Network forums.
If the date just comes from visually reading a calendar, can you post the Batch File highlighting where the date is needed and explain how you expect to pass the date to the Windows Batch script - and in what format.

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%
