Formatting a Date in DOS
Experts,
I want to use a DOS batch file to launch an .exe while sending a date to it as a command-line parameter. I first want to decrement the date so that we're using yesterday's date; then I want to send it in in YYYYMMDD format.
How would I do this?

Microsoft DOS
Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
