You may want to be more specific as far as what you want the macro variable to do or be equal to, but here's a brief example using 10 days ago from the current date (this is assuming your Date Variable in the Oracle Table is Date and not DateTime):

 

%let today=%sysfunc(today(),date9.);
%let date=%sysfunc(intnx(DAY,"&today"d,-10),date9.);
%put *** Today Macro = &today AND Date Macro = &date ***;

proc sql;
connect to oracle (/*database options*/);
create table want as select * from connection to oracle
	(select *
	 from /*name of table*/
	 where /*name of date variable*/>="&date"d);
quit;
