Q. Another way to calculate date plus or minus n days?

<b>NewYYYY-MM-DD</b> is a <a href="/article/tips/tip.aspx?id=5535">call directed numeric environment variable</a> that will contain the resulting YYYY-MM-DD.

<b>DATEorTODAY</b>   is a valid short date, or the literal <b>TODAY</b>.

<b>+or-NN</b>        is the number to add or subtract from <b>DATEorTODAY</b>, like <b>0</b>, or <b>+1</b>, or <b>-1</b>, or <b>+365</b>.

call PorMdays Thisday today 0
call PorMdays Yesday %Thisday% -1
call PorMdays Tomday %Yesday% +2
@echo Today is %Thisday%, Yesterday was %Yesday%, and Tomorrow is %Tomday%

@echo off
if \{%4\} NEQ \{\} @echo Syntax: \[call\] PorMdays NewYYYY-MM-DD DATEorTODAY +or-NN (call PorMdays YMD today -1)&goto :EOF
if \{%3\} EQU \{\} @echo Syntax: \[call\] PorMdays NewYYYY-MM-DD DATEorTODAY +or-NN (call PorMdays YMD today -1)&goto :EOF
setlocal
if /i "%2" EQU "TODAY" (
 set DT=now
) else (
 set DT="%2"
)
set RND=%RANDOM%
@echo.s=DateAdd("d",%3,%DT%) >"%temp%\%~n0_%RND%.vbs"
@echo.WScript.Echo year(s)^&right(100+month(s),2)^&right(100+day(s),2) >>"%temp%\%~n0_%RND%.vbs"
for /f %%a in ('cscript //nologo "%temp%\%~n0_%RND%.vbs"') do set YYYYMMDD=%%a
del /q "%temp%\%~n0_%RND%.vbs"
set YMD=%YYYYMMDD:~0,4%-%YYYYMMDD:~4,2%-%YYYYMMDD:~6,2%
endlocal&set %1=%YMD%
