Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5
Operating System: XP pro

How does one get the current date and time using labtalk? Origin obviously knows this as it is output to the results window along with fits.
I looked around but only found ...
date() fnct -- seems to only change the format from Julian to
internal origin format
timer, second, watch -- all seem to only produce relative times
After help menu and forum searching, etc. I couldn't find the answer to this simple question. I would like to output the date that an analysis was done into a worksheet cell (along with other quant results produced by custom scripts).
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

The current (Julian) date and time is given by the system variable @D. The following section of the programming guide explains how to create a formatted date/time string...
