Hash Variables: Date and time

Parent: $root.$hashvars

#D Read-only variable which is set to the operating system date.

The value of this variable is changed during the operation of Omnis only if the system date is changed using the Control Panel. #D is actually a Date and Time data type but is made to look like a Short date using #FD. Thus, the calculation dat(#D,#FDT) returns the full date and time.

#FD String variable used to specify the display format of a Short date field value. The default value of #FD depends on the language version of Omnis you are using. For example, European versions set #FD to 'D m y', but you can assign it a new value.

#FDT String variable used to specify the display format of a Long date field value, that is, a Date and time field value.

The default value of #FDT depends on the language version of Omnis you are using. For example, European versions of Omnis set #FDT to 'D m y H:N:S', but you can assign it a new value.

#FT String variable which specifies the display format of a Short time field value. The default value of #FT is 'H:N', but you can assign it a new value.

#T Read-only string variable which is set to the operating system time.

The value of this variable is updated from the system clock each time it is used in a format. #T is actually a Date and Time data type but is made to look like a Short time data type using #FT. Thus dat(#T,#FDT) returns the full time and date.
