I have an eight character date (YYYYMMDD) that I am trying to add a
number of days to to arrive at another date.  Here is the code:
 
DEFINE DATE-ISS INT*8 (or DATE, either one gives the same results) =
NCONVERT(DATE-ISSE)  (DATE-ISSUE being thedate I am trying to add to)
DEFINE DUE-DATE-CALC INT SIZE 4 = DAYS(DATE-ISS) + FREQUENCY-I &
        IF FREQ-8UNIT = "D" ELSE DAYS(DATE-ISS) + FREQUENCY-I * 365 &
        IF FREQ-UNIT = "Y"
DEFINE DUE-DATE-CHAR CHAR*8 = ASCII(DATE(DUE-DATE-CALC))
 
My problem is that DUE-DATE-CALC is always zero.  What am I doing wrong
(no editorial comments, please)?
 
TIA,
