Calculate date before yesterday

Sjors Takes — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 04:40:51 GMT

Hi all!!

Is there a simple way to calculate the date/day before yesterday with DCL? Or is there a lexical function for this purpose? Thanks in advance.

Sjors,

I concur with Volker. If you are computing two days before a date other than the current one, watch the syntax of the date string into F$CVTIME, it must be precisely correct.

I always write the string as "-2-".
