Thanks funksen,
I got the solution.. i can use the following command
YESTERDAY=`TZ=aaa24 date +%Y%m%d`
and then echo the same
If you can install the gnu version of date it would be as simple as
date --date 'yesterday' +%Y%m%d
slight modification to funksen. it should be like below.
echo 2007`date +%m%d` - 1|bc
