[ date->subtract ]
[Date->Subtract] subtracts a duration from a Lasso date object. This method modifies the date object in-place but does not output a value.
The first parameter is a Lasso date data type that has been cast using the [Date] method. The second parameter is a valid Lasso duration data type that either has been cast using the [Duration] method or is an integer or decimal representing the number of seconds to subtract from the first parameter.
Optional parameters may be used in place of a duration to define what should be subtracted from the first parameter: -Millisecond, -Second, -Minute, -Hour, -Day, -Week, -Month, or -Year.
