Transmit yesterdays date in a script 1

[speboy]

I have a script that runs everyday and I need to transmit the date from the day before and the format needs to be like 03/28/08.

Thanks

What have you tried so far, and where in your code are you stuck?

The below script shows how to get yesterday's date by subtracting 86400 from the current timeval (86400 is the number of seconds in a day), breaking down the individual components, and then building the date string:

proc main
integer iDay, iMonth, iYear, iHour, iMin, iSec
string sDate

ltimeints $LTIME-86400 iYear iMonth iDay iHour iMin iSec ;Convert timeval to integer components
iYear = iYear - 2000
strfmt sDate "%02d/%02d/%02d" iMonth iDay iYear ;Create MMDDYY string
endproc

Thank You knob. That's exactly what I needed. Sorry it took so long to reply I had neck surgery and have been out of it for awhile.
