addmonth problem

[Richard Kreiss]

Not sure if this a bug or a programming error.

I have a routine which creates a number of records based on dates.  The date
is the last day of the month and I use addmonth to get the next months date.

Nd=addmonth(td)

Now this has worked just fine for the last 2 years.  He is the problem, this
year is a leap year and when the program went to create the April record
with td(10,mdyy/)="02/29/2008" the result is

 Nd=addmonth(td) and nd is 04/29/2008.  Now, I would have expected that date
to be 04/30/2008 as 02/28/2007 yielded 04/30/2007.

Now each succeeding month is the 29th and not the last day of the month.

Now I could just do nd=eom(addmonth(td)) to insure the last day of the
month.

But this appear to be a bug in that addmonth is not taking into account feb
29th and correcting April's date to the 30th as it does with Feb. 28th.

Has this affected anyone else?
