Evidently I posted too soon, because I found the answer myself. You can
call function DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE to convert a calendar date to a
factorydate, which is just a decimal number. To find, say, the 11th
working day of May, pass to it 19970501. After you have the factorydate,
add to it the number of the working day that you want, and subtract one.
Then call FACTORYDATE_CONVERT_TO_DATE to convert the result back to a
calendar date. It's not necessary to know how the factorydate raw number
is derived, because you use it only as an intermediary value.
