expression using the currently defined field names, numeric constants, or a
combination of the two with a mathematic operator. You may also use the
reserved word 'DATE' to perform calculations that require the use of the current
system date. Valid mathematic operators are:
+(addition)
-(subtraction)
*(multiplication)
/(division)
For example, to calculate a 'Sell By' date for a product, you can add a numeric
constant to the system date. Type:
DATE + 90
