Get Date and format MM/dd/yyy - Pre IDM 3.5

[nbligh]

I require a some assistance. My end goal is to put into a variable a date (current_day + 3) in MM/dd/yyyy format.

Bellow I've got to lines of variable code. Each one does half of what I require. I've tried putting the "current-day+3" variable into the code bellow for formatsuch as.....jformat:format(jformat:new('MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss'), $current-day+3)
But I get an error saying can't convert object. Or is there a way to just scrap the first variable code and have everything all in one line of code?


Thanks for any help...
