Thanks. How do I use this to calculate a new variable (e.g."data$next_month")
from an existing variable (e.g."Data$date_").
I tried : <data$next_month<-seq(as.Date(data$date_), len = 2, by = "month")[2]>,
but get the following error message: "Error in seq.Date(as.Date(data$date),
len = 2, by = "1 month") : 'from' must be of length 1"
Thanks.

Try this:
seq(as.Date("2005-01-15"), len = 2, by = "month")[2]
or here is another approach:
