Hello DK,

Use this code inside your program.

java.util.Date tempDate = Calendar.getInstance().

getTime();

Date sqlDate = new Date(tempDate.getTime());

this.wdContext.currentContextElement().

setStartDate(sqlDate);

Hope this resolves to get the current system date.

guys, just curious: do you differenciate system date/time (on the server) and client date/time which in general are not the same?!

Hi

Date date1 = new Date();

SimpleDateFormat fmtDatePlain = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");

String formattedDate = fmtDatePlain.format(date1);

System.out.println("todaysdate" +formattedDate);

Thanks

Lohi.
