You may not be doing what I believe you are, but I thought it worth noting that there isn’t always ‘31’ days between the same day in different months.

If what you are really trying to do is move to the same day number in the next month, then you should use `system.date.addMonths(first,1)`

If that isn’t what you’re really looking for, then carry on.
