Calendar-related keywords (except those with the ENTRY prefix), when used on the Resize page, return a date that is one day later than the same keyword returns, when it is used on the Initial Size page.  This can be observed when examining such date functions in X-Ray. In SIG code DATE can be examined in a column.
