Yesterday's Date? - RESOLVED!

[rockies1]

I have some code that works to calculate yesterday's date and it has worked great, until today.

Anyone have something that works correctly?

Here's mine:

		public static String CalcYestDate()
		{
			//Set up date to run for
			java.util.Calendar  gc;
			java.util.Date  curDate;
			String  strCurDate = null;
			String fileDate = new String();

			gc = GregorianCalendar.getInstance ( ); // Gets the current Calendar instance
			gc.roll(gc.DATE,false);

			curDate = gc.getTime ( ); // Gets the Date time part of gc
			SimpleDateFormat sdf2 = new SimpleDateFormat ( "yyyyMMdd" ); //sets up the correct format for the date
			fileDate = sdf2.format ( curDate );  //Changes the date into the correct date format

			return(fileDate);
	}//End CalcYestDate

When I ran it today it returned 20030731 instead of 20030630.

Thanks!

import java.util.Date;
import java.text.DateFormat;

  public class D{
    public static void main(String[] args){

    long day = 60 * 60 * 1000 * 24;   

    Date today = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()); 
    DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM);
 
    System.out.println(df.format(today)); 
 
    today.setTime(today.getTime() - day); 

    System.out.println(df.format(today));      
   }
 }
