Re: Calculate the 20th of next month

I have always felt that %SubDt should be allowed on the left-hand  
side.  In fact I thought the original design called for that but one  
way or another it didn't happen.

Why invent a new BIF when there is a perfectly good one already?   
After all %SubDt is deliberately named to sound similar to %Subst - as  
it should be.  %Subst can be used on the right or left side - why not  
%SubDt??
