TODAY simply returns the current system date as a string in the form ‘yy-mm-dd’, or if you want, in the format ‘yyyy-mm-dd’.
Syntax of TODAY
The syntax is Today ( FourDigitYearFlag); where:
- FourDigitYearFlag – can be either omitted or 0 or 1, where omitted or 0 will return the 2 digit year and a 1 will return a 4 digit year.
Example
Assuming the current system date is 07 June 2016, then:
Today(1);
will return the string ‘2016-06-07′
While Today();
will return the string ’16-06-07’.
