ALTER TABLE some table ADD PARTITION partition_name VALUES less than (TO_DATE('variablex', 'DD/MM/YYYY')) ; - Mailing list pgsql-novice

I am writing a plsql code
DECLARE
    sys_date             character varying(500);
variablex            character varying(500);
sys_date:='select to_char(now,''YYYYMMDD'')';
    execute immediate sys_date into variablex;
    dbms_output.put_line(variablex);
begin
ALTER TABLE some table  ADD PARTITION partition_name VALUES less than
(TO_DATE('variablex', 'DD/MM/YYYY')) ;

I want to add a partition based on sysdate and each day a table would be
created. So i am writing the code as above

It throws an error
ERROR:  date format not recognized
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "ALTER TABLE some table ADD PARTITION partition_name
VALUES less than (TO_DATE('variablex', 'DD/MM/YYYY'))"
edb-spl function inline_code_block line 44 at SQL statement
