Re: %Date & *DATE

RTFM  :-)

The first parameter is the value to be converted. If you do not specify a 
value, %DATE returns the current system date.

I have the following line in a program.

     C                   Eval      dJobDate = %Date(*Date) - %Days(1)

Am I correct in the *DATE parameter on the %DATE BIF causes the job date 
to
be used instead of the system date ?

Should I go back to the TIME opcode to consistently get the current system
date ?

Thanks,
