TimeCurrent

Gets the current system time/date in time/date variable format. Please be aware that CitectSCADA stores time as the number of seconds since 01/01/1970. You can convert this value into usable date and time variables by using the various Date and Time functions.

Time/date functions can only be used with dates between 1980 and 2035. You should check that the date you are using is valid with Cicode similar to the following:

IF StrToDate(Arg1)>0 THEN

	...

ELSE

	...

END
