[ncl-talk] manipulate date

[franz]

Dear ncl-team
    I'm using the ncl 6.1.2 on imac Darwin 64bit
    I need to calculate the resulting date in the form YYYYMMDD 
(year,mounth and day)
    starting from an initial date YYYYMMDD of string type and adding a 
certain number of day
    For example func("20140928" + 5 day) = "20141003"
    Has ncl a routine that do this task?

    thanks
