If the date format used does not correspond to the one set in your operating system, QlikView will not be
able to make a correct interpretation. See above under day(date) (page 339).
now([ timer_mode])
Returns a timestamp of the current time from the system clock. The timer_mode may have the following
values:
0 Time at script run
1 Time at function call
2 Time when the document was opened
Default timer_mode is 1. The timer_mode = 1 should be used with caution, since it polls the operating system
every second and hence could slow down the system.
today([timer_mode] )
Returns the current date from the system clock. The timer_mode may have the following values:
0 Date at script run
1 Date at function call
2 Date when the document was opened
Default timer_mode is 2. The timer_mode = 1 should be used with caution, since it polls the operating system
every second and hence could slow down the system.
LocalTime([timezone [, ignoreDST ]])
Returns a timestamp of the current time from the system clock for a specified time zone. The timezone is
specified as a string containing any of the geographical places listed under Time Zone in the Windows Control
Panel for Date and Time or as a string in the form 'GMT+hh:mm'. If no timezone is specified the local
time will be returned. If ignoreDST is -1 (true) daylight savings time will be ignored.
Examples:
localtime ('Paris')
localtime ('GMT+01:00')
localtime ('Paris',-1)
localtime()
