  • Sign on date VS system date

    I am working on some production programming where a shift will spill over to the next day. I would like to capture the current (system) date and not the date the user signed on to the session.

    Is the bif %date the way to go? What are the differences between UDATE DATE %DATE or any others I missed?


    Thanks!

    Yes, use the %date and %timestamp bifs for the "current" date. Udate is a job date, and is forever set to the date the job started, and is not changed over time.
