Hi,

Does anyone know if there any date or datetime builtin expressions or functions? I've read through the manual, but don't see any reference to these.
I'm trying to rename a file to append the current date to the end of the filename. I thought this would be very straightforward in FlowForce, but it would seem not.

Thanks!

I had the same problem, in order to make re-usable one I simply created a date/time job in MapForce that formats the date from the NOW function how I want it to look. I deployed that to FlowForce and created a job that runs just after midnight to cache the datestamp. Then I just use that cached output wherever I need it. Hope this helps.
