Console Error Not Function, But Similar Script runs ok in another dateobject field

[Kemper5F9B]

I have a series of three date object fields for business and for mobilehome: StartDate, EndDate, and AdvancedRenewalPeriodDate. The AdvancedRenewalPeriodDate calculates in days the difference between the EndDate field value minus 90 days. I took my scripts for these (business,mobilehome) AdvancedRenewalPeriodDate fields from the calculation script located in my original AdvancedRenewalPeriodDate used when BirthDate dateobject is involved. For some reason, my new ones (business,mobilehome) do not work. What am I missing???????  File Attached- Thanks in advance!!! 

//START DATE Registration Period for BUSINESS NOT FOR HIRE or

//SHORT TERM RENTAL JUN 01
var sACQb = this.getField("AcquiredDate").valueAsString;
if (sACQb == "") event.value = "";
else {
var dsACQb = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy",sACQb);
dsACQb.setMonth(05);
dsACQb.setDate(01);
event.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", dsACQb);}

//END DATE Initial Registration Period for BUSINESS NOT FOR HIRE or

//SHORT TERM RENTAL MAY 31
var eACQb = this.getField("AcquiredDate").valueAsString;
if (eACQb == "") event.value = "";
else {
var deACQb = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy",eACQb);
deACQb.setMonth(05);
deACQb.setDate(30);
event.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", deACQb);}

dbARP.setDate(bARP.getDate()-90);
event.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", dbARP);}

bARP is a string, not a Date object.

[Kemper5F9B]

I do not follow. I thought the util.scand interpreted the variable into date format chosen?

You can't use

bARP.getDate()

bARP is a string. The function getDate() is not available for strings.

dbARP is a date object.
