'Previous Day' system symbols (was: how to calculate previous day using REXX)

Very recently, I too went down the path of developing a REXX to figure out yesterday's date, and my solution pretty much matches ones that have been proposed in that mail-trail. However, I wanted to go further. Having created a working REXX, I want to then automatically run it on a daily basis to
