Date / Time Question

[longhair]

does progress have anything akin to the 'now' function in vb / vba?
'now' will display date & time (dd/mm/ccyy hh:mm AM) for example.
anything native to progress or do we just need to string the date and time together (x = string(today) + " " + string(time,"hh:mm").
thanks in advance.
regards,
longhair

Depends on your version of Progress.

With your antique 9.1C, the answer is no.

Have a look at date-format session objects. Not exactly what you are looking for but it could help you in finding a way to make your own format. I did one kindal using the Date-FOrmat = "ymd"

then when i displayed it

display asDate Format "999999"

something similar to that just to set up my own as400 date.
