Uwe,
You can package anything as your own 'single' command, but the only
sensible way to do what you want to do is to convert your
year-month-day Gregorian-calendar date into a day number, subtract
one, and convert the difference back into a year-month-day value.

Hallo Members,
I am trying to find out who or what is using a usercat. I issued the /F
CATALOG,ALLOCATED and it shows that it is allocated.
Is there something or command I can issue to see who or what is using the
catalog?
Thanks.
It will probably be allocated to the Catalog Address Space, because it has been
needed in the past.
If you want to know for whom that was, you could check smf14/15/17 for dataset
access and smf6x for catalog updates, but you will never find simple catalog
locate requests.
Kees.
