System Clock in LC Process

[Sayoni]

Hi,

I want to generate a system date in an LC Process. Can anyone tell how
to do it. Whether it can be done by scripting or any service that
needs to be used.

Thanks,
Sayoni.

You can write your own component in Java and use the java.utils class.

A quick way to get the system date is as follows

format-date(current-dateTime(), "en", "US", "WIN", "US/Pacific-New")

This format above is for the USA pacific time, so you need to change
the Timezone value depending on where your LC server is hosted.

for some reason current-dateTime always returns time for GMT. so we
can use format-date to convert it to our timezone..

I also have a flex date manipulation class that can find the localized time and count down backwards if anyone wants the source code.

When using data arrays, be careful to determine if your programming language uses 0 as the first array member.  Some will do this for days of a month but use 1 for the first day of a week.
