date -1 day and -30 days needed in a macro

[gaidukas]

Hello,

I'm monitoring a web site and some of the pages need a post with some parameters that contain a date. Specificaly (yesderday) and (30 days ago).

Here is an example of what is posted:

start=Mon Sep 16 2013 11%3A23%3A07 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)
end=Wed Oct 16 2013 11%3A23%3A07 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)

I was wondering if there is, or if I could create something like:

start={date -1}
end={date -30}

Also, I tested and the format: 'yyyy/mm/dd' seems to work.

Thanks,

-Glen

I know this is a really old post but I found a solution for this and will write it here in case anyone searches for this.

Firstly I set two user macros for the START and END dates, using the system DATE macro

{$DATE_START} => {DATE}+50
{$DATA_END} => {DATE}+51

Then in your XML you can use those macros like this;

<ns0:StayDateRange Start="{$DATE_START}" End="{$DATE_END}"/>

The only indication that I currently have that it's working is that it is getting 200 response, so I assume that it is working.
