The code below has been working fine until this morning. It determined that &POSTDT = '2019-10-00' and I do not understand that at all. Is there some other way I should be using to take the current days date and subtract one day? 
  
-SET &CURDT = &YYMD;
-SET &PREVDT = DATEADD(&CURDT, 'D', -1);
-SET &POSTDT = EDIT(&PREVDT, '9999-99-99');


Thanks,

If it's NOT a Smart Date, will "always" error; also, don't need &CURDT:

-SET &PREVDT = DATECVT((DATEADD(DATECVT(&YYMD,'I8YYMD','YYMD'),'D',-1))'YYMD', 'I8YYMD');

Thanks Tom. I did have to tweak it a bit as it threw an unbalanced parentheses error.
-SET &PREVDT = DATECVT(DATEADD(DATECVT(&YYMD,'I8YYMD','YYMD'),'D',-1), 'YYMD', 'I8YYMD');
