The command
@strnow("DD/mm/yyyy")
@datestr(@now, "DD/mm/yyyy")
both return the dates string at the moment of evaluation in “DD/mm/yyyy” format.
Using intra-day formats,
@strnow("yyyy-MM-DD HH:mi:ss")
@datestr(@now, "yyyy-MM-DD HH:mi:ss")
both return the date string at the moment of evaluation in "yyyy-MM-DD HH:mi:ss" format.
