Does this do what you want?

Code:

program:

mynum = strcat($$#completiondate, 'd');

date_arithmetic(today(),mynum)

EDIT: This'll probably fall over if you have nothing in completiondate, an if-then should help:

Code:

program:

	if 
		!$$#completiondate
	then ''

	else 
		mynum = strcat($$#completiondate, 'd');
		date_arithmetic(today(),mynum)
	fi
