Hey Dossy,
I tried it, it works GREAT but not with -format %m%d%Y option
If i try
set testDate [clock format [clock scan "$mDt + 6 days]]
it works, but, when i try to format the output
set testDate [clock format [clock scan "$mDt + 6 days] -format %Y%m%d]
it does not?????????????????
Any idea!!!!!!!!!!
Prakash

The one-liner version of Ricard's example:
clock format [clock scan {04/24/2001 + 5 days}] -format %m/%d/%Y
