Check the database SQL functions. E.g. TIMESTAMPADD() but likely not available in the build-in HSQLDB of Base.
or do you want to do it on a form? I'm not sure if you can use a e.g. spinner.

yes im using hsqldb 1.8,
how sad to hear that timestampadd is not available in hsqldb

what is spinner? is this available in hsqldb??
