LOTUSSCRIPT LANGUAGE


Date statement
Example

Sets the system date.

Syntax

Date[$] = dateExpr

Elements

dateExpr


Usage

If you specify a 2-digit year designation (yy) in Notes or Domino, LotusScript interprets 50 through 99 as the years 1950 through 1999 and 00 through 49 as the years 2000 through 2049. For example, 88 and 1988 are equivalent year designations and 12 and 2012 are equivalent year designations.

If you specify a 2-digit year designation in SmartSuite, LotusScript interprets the years differently. For information on how each SmartSuite product interprets 2-digit year designations, see the online Help entry entitled Year 2000. This entry appears on the Help menu of each SmartSuite product.

This statement is not valid on UNIX or Macintosh OS X operating systems, for which you need to have root user privileges to change the system date.
