In fact your system is not necessarily old but simply POSIX - AIx uses POSIX-compliant utilities and the POSIX-date doesn't have the -d flag.
You can do the following: (every) UNIX, including AIX, maintains the time as a (permanently updated) 32-bit (64-bit?) integer, which is counting the seconds since 0:00 Jan 1st 1970. "Time" is generally maintained in CUT (coordinated universal time, basically GMT) systemwide, from this the "TZ"-string is "added". You can modify the TS-string which contains an offset to the system time, for a single command like this:
You can, the same way, subtract or add arbitrary values by adding/subtracting multiples of 24 from/to the TZ-offset:
Apply necessary format codes normally to the date-command.
I'm not sure you need the + on your original command. I wrote a whole pile of things to exploit the fact that AIX recognises huge TZ offsets to work out what days we had to reports against and what days we had to write projections for (i.e. direct-debit due dates etc.)
