Syntax

Getting the system date and time Hide the details

<Result> = SysDateTime()

<Result>: Character string or DateTime variable

System date and time in YYYYMMDDHHmmSSCCC format (YYYY corresponds to the year, MM to the month, DD to the day, HH to hours, mm to minutes, SS to seconds and CCC to 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 YYYYMMDDHHmmSSCCC format (YYYY corresponds to the year, MM to the month, DD to the day, HH to hours, mm to minutes, SS to seconds and CCC to milliseconds).

Remarks

To get the date and time in a format other than YYYYMMDDHHmmSSCCC, the string must be formatted using the DateToString, Right, Left functions or the date properties. The YYYYMMDDHHmmSSCCC format was chosen because it allows you to check the order of dates.
On all current systems, the year of the system date can be between 1920 and 2120.
