RW_SysDate

HI folks

I want to format the sys date field that is on the packing slip and picking ticket to be month in three letters.

I have the RW_Datetostring function that will do the formatting for me, but I need the system date

I have found the RW_SysDate function but am at a loss as to its parameters.

looking at:

http://msdynamicstips.com/2014/06/10/rw-functions-global-scripts/

and

http://www.sanjaykumar.us/index.php/dynamics-gp-report-writer-global-functions-part-3-date-time-functions/

what the heck does this mean:

Parameters:

in integer IN_mode. non-zero = SQL Server Date

can someone give me an example of getting the sys date function to work so I can run it through the formatter function.

thanks!

    perfect - the placement of that 0 makes a huge difference I had it outside the brackets.

    Try following:

    Create first Calculated Field named "MySysDate"
    Result Type: Date
    Expression Type: Calculated
    Expression: FUNCTION_SCRIPT(RW_SysDate 0)

    Parameter: 0 means system date in your PC
    non zero means system date in SQL Server machine

    Create Second Calculated Field named "MySysDateStr"
    Result Type: String
    Expresson Type: Calculated
    Expression: FUNCTION_SCRIPT(RW_DateToString MySysDate "mmm, DD YYYY")

    Add the "MySysDateStr" field to the report.
