Syntax

Finding out the system date and time Hide the details

<Result> = SysDateTime()

<Result>: Character string or DateTime variable

System date and time in YYYYMMDDHHMMSSLLL format (YYYY corresponds to the year, MM to the month, DD to the day, HH to the hour, MM to the minutes, SS to the seconds and LLL to the milliseconds).

Modifying the system date and time Hide the details

SysDateTime(<New date and time>)

<New date and time>: Character string or DateTime variable

New system date and time in YYYYMMDDHHMMSSLLL format (YYYY corresponds to the year, MM to the month, DD to the day, HH to the hour, MM to the minutes, SS to the seconds and LLL to the milliseconds).

Remarks

To get the date and time in a format other than YYYYMMDDHHMMSSLLL, you must format the string (with DateToString, Right, Left) or you must use the properties on the dates. The YYYYMMDDHHMMSSLLL format was chosen because it allows you to check the chronology between two dates according to this same format.
On all the current systems, the year of the system date can be included between 1980 and 2099.
