VB and VBScript Allow for it using the DateAdd function.
d = "9/28/2002 1:36:07 PM"
d = DateAdd("s", 12, DateAdd("n", 15, DateAdd("h", 7, DateAdd("d", 2,
DateAdd("m", 3, DateAdd("yyyy", 4, d))))))
SQL has a similar function named: DATEADD
And John Cowan wants to know:

According to the previous language:
2005-03-01 (interestingly enough producing the same results regardless of
the order of operations)
Granted, your results might vary depending upon the order you perform the
addition.
Engineering is what happens when science and
mathematics meet politics. Products are what
happens when all three meet reality.
