If I understand your request correctly, the easiest answer is to use the
INTNX function.
The simplest solution would be:
nextdt = INTNX('month',fromdt,12) ;
However, this will default to the first of the month. You could also try
this:
nextdt = INTNX('day',fromdt,365) ;
The INTNX function takes three arguments --
1. Time interval (DAY, WEEK, MONTH, YEAR)
2. Variable
3. Number of intervals
Note that in each case, it defaults to the first of that interval (ie 1st
day of month, 1st day of week, etc).
There have been several more accurate (and more complicated) calculations
posted on SAS-L, but it does not appear that you need that level of
complexity for your request.
