I don't see any method in dateutils that does what I need. Trust me, I checked already.

Dim P as Period
Dim D as int
Dim NewDate as string
dim Tick as long
dim NewTick as LOng

D=7
Tick=1234567688
P.Days=D
NewTick=DateUtils.AddPeriod(ticks,p)
NewDate=DateUtils.TicksToString(NextDate)

You did not look deep it seems.

    Dim today As Long = DateTime.Now
    
    Dim per As Period
    per.Initialize
    per.Days = 7
    
    Dim futuredate As Long = DateUtils.AddPeriod(today,per)
    Log($"Date in Future $date{futuredate}"$)
