yesterday in DATE('S') Format

[BanD]

In standard Windows Rexx to get yesterday's date I can do:
today = date(u)
yesterday = today - 1

How do I then get yesterday in date('s') & date('e') format?

Don't you mean Date('B') - base date? Try this;

Y_DateS = Date('S', yesterday, 'B')

Basically the first parameter is the desired output date format, the second is the input date, and the third is the input date format.

yesterday_s = (s, (date(b) - 1),b)

in most flavors of REXX.

woops ; that should have been

yesterday_s = Date(s, (date(b) - 1),b)
