    Hey DainiusA!

     

    Good news here is that aqDateTime also has a AddDays function that will allow you to add or remove a specific amount of days that will adhere to the calendar. 

     

    For instance, in the code below we create variables that hold Todays date, then we subtract one from it. The AddDays function will roll the time back to the previous month if Todays date is the first of the month.

     

    // script start

    function yesterDay()

     

        var today, yesterdayRaw, yesterdayFormatted;

     

        today = aqDateTime.Today();
        yesterdayRaw = aqDateTime.AddDays(today, -1);
        yesterdayFormatted = aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(yesterdayRaw, "%Y%m%d");

        Log["Message"]("yesterdayFormatted " + (yesterdayFormatted));

    // script end

     

     

    Here are some docs that cover these functions. I hope this helps!

Not quite. In the Log it shows the format the one I need: But the thing is I need to press buttons one by one in this order on my keypad

 

 

Sample code without date formatting that works at this moment:

 

function YeterdayInput ()
{
var CurrentDate = aqDateTime.Today();

// Convert the date/time value to a string and post it to the log
Today = aqConvert["DateTimeToStr"](CurrentDate);

// Calculate the yesterday’s date, convert the returned date to a string and post this string to the log
DateYesterday = aqDateTime["AddDays"](CurrentDate, -1);
ConvertedYesterdayDate = aqConvert["DateTimeToStr"](DateYesterday);
for (var i = 0; i < aqString["GetLength"](DateYesterday); i++)
{
PressNumber( aqString["GetChar"](DateYesterday, i));
}
ClickOk()
}
