message today string( time, "hh:mm:ss" ) view-as alert-box.

pay attention to the SESSION:TIME-SOURCE if the time you're getting doesn't make sense.

tells whether progress uses the local client machine time source or a database server machine time source. set to LOCAL by default.

how to get this in a variable of the type CHAR

Just surround it with the STRING(...) function

 

[dayv2005]

def var cDate as char no-undo.
def var cTime as char no-undo.
def var cDateTime as char no-undo.

assign
cDate = String(today)
cTime = String(Time,"hh:mm:ss")
cDateTime = cDate + " " + cTime.

diaply cDateTime.
