Hi Farhan,
I suggest that you try using the
Today method of the
aqDateTime object to return the current date. Then, you need to specify the format in which the current date should be displayed. To perform the conversion, you need to use the
DateTimeToFormatStr method of the
aqConvert object. For example, you can use the following code:
'Returns the current date
today = aqDateTime.Today()
'Specifies the format of the current date
todayUSA = aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Now(), "%m/%d/%y")
'Outputs the result
Log.Message("Now: " & todayUSA)
Besides that, you can use the
GetMonth,
GetDay and
GetYear methods of the aqDateTime object to accomplish your task. In this case, you can get the current month, day and year respectively and compose a string in the format you need to compare it with the date in your program. For example, see the code below:
'Returns the current date
today = aqDateTime.Today()
'Returns the month number of the specified date
Log.Message("Month: " & aqDateTime.GetMonth(today))
'Returns the ordinal number of a day in a month
Log.Message("Day: " & aqDateTime.GetDay(today))
'Returns the year number of the specified date
Log.Message("Year: " & aqDateTime.GetYear(today))
