    Is this what you mean?

    Code:
    SQL> select sysdate from dual;
    
    SYSDATE
    ---------
    13-JAN-03
    
    SQL> select sysdate+1 from dual;
    
    SYSDATE+1
    ---------
    14-JAN-03
    
    SQL> select sysdate+7 from dual;
    
    SYSDATE+7
    ---------
    20-JAN-03

    Or....

    If you want a simple function do return a new date when specifing 'D' for day 'W' for week you could try the following

    Code:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION date_advance
      (curr_date IN date, adv_flag in varchar)
    RETURN date
    IS
    BEGIN
      IF adv_flag = 'D' THEN
        RETURN curr_date+1;
      ELSIF adv_flag ='W' THEN
        RETURN curr_date+7;
      ELSE
        RETURN curr_date;
      END IF;
    END date_advance;
    This would give the following output:

    Code:
    SQL> select date_advance(sysdate,'D') from dual;
    
    DATE_ADVA
    ---------
    14-JAN-03

    2 /

    ADD_DAY
    ---------
    14-JAN-03

    SQL> select sysdate + 7 as ADD_WEEK from dual
    2 /

    ADD_WEEK
