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 set suitably-named system symbols with new values each day, I've tracked down details regarding the IEASYMU2 program, but no matter what I do, the result is always RC288 (or '120'x). As far as I can see, this is caused by some sort of RACF restriction, but there's no diagnostic info appearing in the console log, so I don't know what to do to correct the situation. Has anyone successfully used this program & would be prepared to share their experience, please?
