add() / subtract() Operation

Syntax

set resultDateTime = aDateTime.add(aDuration);
set resultDateTime = aDateTime.subtract(aDuration);

Semantics

Add respectively subtract a duration to/from a DateTime object.

This is calculated e.g. as follows:

  1. 31.01.2017 + 1 month = 31.02.2017

  2. The resulting date 31.02.2017 is normalized to 03.03.2017.

For a deeper understanding of how you can calculate with DateTime objects, refer to DateTime Arithmetics.

Substitutables

Examples

 
create duration; 
set duration.years = 3;

set newDateTime1 = aDateTime.add(duration); 
set newDateTime2 = aDateTime.subtract(duration);
