GetDate

Use this function to store the current date, in calendar format, in a symbol. You can use Julian date functions to convert the date to a serial number that can be used in calculations. You may find this function useful for keeping track of System Events.

Syntax:

GETDATE(["Format"])

where:

  • Format is the formula for another method of returning a date, such as “dd/mm/yyyy”. This enables the user to have date information returned in the format appropriate to their region. If this parameter is not specified, the default “yyyy-mm-dd” format is followed.

Syntax example:

CurrDate=GETDATE()

CurrDate=GETDATE("yy/mm/dd")
