Tech Tip: Getting UTC time in ISO format in 4D
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 16 R2 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: January 19, 2017
4D v16 R2 introduces a new command to obtain the current UTC time in ISO format. The new command Timestamp returns a string that contains the time with the following format:
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ
This command simplifies self created logging systems so that an entire timestamp is generated with a single native 4D command, instead of using PHP commands or a compination of Current date and Current time. This format is also compatible with the JSON format for Object types.
C_OBJECT($objectVar) OB SET($objectVar;"Time";Timestamp) |
