Retrieves the session date if it has been set.

date systemDateGet()

Return Value

The session date if has been set; otherwise, the system date.

Remarks

The user should consider using the menu Tools > Session date and time to start the Session date and time form. The form can be used to actively set the session date. After this set action is detected by the system, subsequent calls to the systemDateGet function return the session date.

The today function returns the system date.

This function does not support time zones.

Example

The following example displays the date in the Infolog window.

    static void Job_systemDateGet(Args _arg)
    {
        ;
        info( date2Str( 
            
            systemDateGet(),  // X++ language function.
            
            321,  // 321 = ymd
            DateDay::Digits2,
    
            DateSeparator::Hyphen, // separator1
            DateMonth::Digits2,
            DateSeparator::Hyphen, // separator2
    
            DateYear::Digits4
