CURRENT_DATE [no parentheses] is ANSI SQL and should be used for new development. DATE is old Teradata-only syntax retained for backward compatibility.

Can current_date be used in an equation

where tbl1.host_date = current_date -1

Be careful that you do not try to use these expressions on PPI tables. If so, the optimizer will not invoke partition eliminiation (at least in the current release.)
