Date of Today

[gmorales]

Hello, It is possible to show into a form the date of today? I've tryed using the function tod() but shows me the date of today and a Time, what soul i do?

You can use the tod() function as you have found, but then you'll want to turn it into a string. Then you can clip with strclpr() if you actually want to remove the time portion of the string. Example...

$test=str(tod())
$junk=strclpr($test,9)

The $test variable now contains the string: 05/06/08

Check out the help server, it documents a lot of the functions available to you.

Hi,

how about:

$date.part=date(tod());

this way the system takes NLS system-wide settings (date format) into account.

I think the point was that he didn't want the time on the end of it... a good suggestion though in terms of standardized format. He'll have to let us know in more detail, or just pick on of the solutions
