Thank you All.

The code does not work in our system. We are using AIX 6.1

Code:
date -d '20141220 1 day ago'  '+%Y%m%d'


Right now, I am using the code given by RavinderSingh13. Yet to try out the code given by rbatte1.

Is there anyway this funciton can be implemented simply using perl, Since Perl has the date datatype?
