Hello,
To all readers, an inspiring 2009.
Say, in one of my files, I had a
** TODO Pay taxes
SCHEDULED: <2009-01-15 Thu +0d>
which the last few days (?) has been causing an
org-closest-date: Arithmetic error
I decided to investigate this today. I actually first noticed the error
this weekend.
According to the debugger the 0 was the cause. I changed it into a 1
(<2009-01-15 Thu +1d>) and the error disappeared.
This is a user error, I bet. Am I not supposed to do 0d?
Thanks

Hi Gijs,
While you can use +0 to schedule an event for today after typing C-c
C-s on a headline, I don't believe you can use +0d for a repeating
timestamp. If it did work, it would cause a task to repeat forever on
the same day - so that's probably why it isn't supported. To create a
task that repeats each day, +1d is what you want.
Best,
Matt

Thanks! But I thought the +0d in "SCHEDULED: <2009-01-15 Thu +0d>"
means that I would be warned about this TODO item not 14 days or less
before the date, but only on the date itself. Maybe I should have
written +0, as per http://orgmode.org/org.html#Timestamps
I have a feeling this behaviour changed "recently" in org-mode. But
it is probably just me.

I think you are confusing DEADLINE and SCHEDULED items. For items with
a deadline, you can indeed add a warning time specifier, as in
,----
| ** Deadline
| DEADLINE: <2009-01-15 Thu -0d>
`----
Which means that the deadline warning will first show up on your
agenda on the day it is due, or
,----
| ** Deadline
| DEADLINE: <2009-01-15 Thu -3d>
`----
Which means the warning will show up three days before the item is
due.
- Scheduled items first show up on the agenda on the day they are
scheduled and every day thereafter until they are marked done.
- Deadline warnings show up on the agenda n days before the deadline,
with n specified in the variable org-deadline-warning-day or via the
negative modifier in the examples above.
Hope this helps,
Matt

No.. that's -0d :) and it's only for DEADLINES
+3d days is the period to repeat (repeat every 3 days)
-3d is how many days in advance to show up on the agenda instead of the
default setting org-deadline-warning-days

Wow, that puts a really new spin on finding a 'zero-day' ... :-)
