Default Future Dates - Again!

Hello,

I have this code which was given to me before however the date field I am
trying to calculate from is formatted in our AS400 as 28th May 2008, so is a
full date without day, but including ordinals. My question is this: how do I
amend this code to allow for the format of the original field, in this case,
the AS400 field would be placed in a document as { MERGEFIELD YYYCZ1 }. The
code I have is below.

Many thanks.

Regards,
Chris
