Can't figure out compile error. I know its in the subtraction of - 30, but can't figure out how to declare variable correctly for it to work.

Keith, Shouldn't &Days be defined as *Decimal? And remove the quotes. Bill

Well after some more searches, I figured out my problem. I was using the wrong API to convert from Lilian back to YYYYMMDD. Here is the source, and thanks to all who replied.
