I just provided this answer in the previous question. It is a good idea to keep different questions under theri own topic, but may I suggest that you only submit your question one time. It will be easier to follow the responses......But to keep the topic complete, here is the answer again:

Start with Help and go through all of the commands. It is really well done and has examples for almost all commands.
===============================

GetDate>result

Returns the current date in the specified variable. The format of the date depends on the regional settings of the system.

Abbreviation : GDT
See also : GetTime, Year, Month, Day, FileDate

Example

GetDate>date
Let>msg=The Date Is :
ConCat>msg,date
Message>msg
=========================
Again, use the Help command. Best place to start.

In the Editor, Click on Help on the Menu Bar. Click on Command Reference.

Again, good luck.......
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
