RE: Current date in Free-format

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can do it in /free by using the new %date() or %timestamp() bifs without
any parameters...

d nowTimeStamp    s               z
d nowDate         s               d
...
/free
    nowTimeStamp = %timestamp();
    nowDate = %date();
/end-free
