Rather than figure out the date subtraction in the command shell, when I want yesterday's date, I cheat.
I schedule the job at 11:59 PM, then parse the date, then continue. For one specific job, I really wanted a log file to be finished, so I then issued waitfor.exe and made it pause for 10 minutes... functionally, it executed today, but on yesterday's data. WaitFor.exe is in the usual Microsoft OS Resource Kits. Back in the day, I used to set environment variables called TodayMM, TodayDD, TodayYYYY and likewise for Yesterday. I also ignored 00:00 for any jobs, and used 23:59 or 00:01, but typically 00:01 and the Yesterday variables.

It does everything you asked for and more :) and if you act quickly we can throw in some steak knives. And while I am at it does anyone have and batch code that will figure out yesterdays date? I would love to run my report after midnight and get yesterday's log file. Thanx BTW change the .txt to .cmd and some variables inside.
