Enhancement Hourglass

We use HOURGLASS to update the date. HOURGLASS allow us only a specific date. We would like to have the ability to obtain a different date, Relative Date Plus ou Minus a number of days (for example, Day +7).
We would like to do this thru AGGCX transaction or thru DD JCL (HGcyyqqq). The goal is not to have to modify the JCL every day.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

    I would like to request that we revisist this request. We have an issue where CICS reverts our dates on its midnight time checks.

    Based on our current plans and priorities it is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then.

    As of today, HG allows offset only for hours (23h59mn) and years.
    It would be great to be able to offset for days such as
    //HGDdnnn DD DUMMY
    //*HGDP007 for 7 days HG for HourGlass, D for Days, P for Plus, 007 for days)
