all the comments mentioned here are correct,this is small example


emp = load 'data' using PigStorage(',') as (empno,ename ,job,mgr,hiredate ,sal,comm,deptno);
each_date = foreach emp generate ToDate(hiredate,'dd-MMM-yyyy') as mydate;
subt = foreach each_date generate mydate,SubtractDuration(mydate,'PT1M');

you need to refer to the standard for ISO 8601 to specify duration or period linked Here. For example PT1M is a one-minute duration. Here's the implementation of the function if you need clear understanding. Get to know jodatime java library and Period object to get a handle on this function. Excellent question!
