Hi,

I am trying this since month and never know how to use it.

Can somebody tell me how to use the optional timevalue
for @datetime() ?
Maybe I have a date and want to get the weekday (eg Monday)
for this. How can I do it ?

Thanks Very Happy

bye, Fabian

Use the second parameter of @datetime(), like this:

Hi,

does not work on my computer.
I am using german OS.

Do I have to change the style for %%time = @datetime(...) ?

Bye, Fabian

Well, I have got a Dutch computer, and I think that the time notation is the same. Maybe you have to change dd-mm-yy so that it is notated in the way it is in Germany...

I tested it on an English computer and you will need to remove the hyphens (-)

And probably set the date in the correct format as it is used in the country.
For example, in America, if the date was Wednesday, April 10, 2003, we
would need to use 041003. Smile

Just move you mouse above the Windows Clock to see how it is officialy notated in your country...

Hi Serge,

you misunderstood.
I need a specific date, not today.

Maybe you can run this, and put reply it in a topic?

This way it should work...

X-Tools · Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2003 12:00 pm Post subject: datetime

yes - i know.

what i ment is to know, what day of week
was the first january 2000, etc.

and calculating with dates and times.

for the moment i use calculating in seconds for timecalculations
(minutes x 60, hours x 3600, etc).

But how could I substract 30 days from a date ?

Is there a way in vds ?

Bye, Fabian

Skit, I don't think you can use hyphens in it. If I removed them, it worked,
but with them I get a Missing parameter(s) to command error.
