Unexpected Date Calculation

[Bob]

Hello, here is my issue:

string deb1 = @otod(@dateadd(@dateval("01/01/2025"), 1, "b")) returns 7/08/4813

For information:
EViews 13 is configured with the date format as day/month/year.
I am working with daily data from Monday to Friday

Thank you

[EViews Gareth]

You probably want @datestr not @otod
