Johnny,
You should fix that. ?
Actually, Steve, you are right. I should.
Right now, when I need such things, I use a helper program I've written,
which do the date calculations, and gives me an absolute date, which I
then use with submit.
What are the syntax that would make sense?
+<n>[hours|days] I guess. Anything else? You you specify after n days,
would it be expected to run after midnight?
A common case I have is also running next week, same time (I use that
for my backups), and also last sunday in a specific month (use that for
changing between daylight saving). Anyone have suggestions for nice ways
of expressing such dates/times?

On RSTS/E, you?d say /AFTER=+3HOURS (or +3H for short).
