Report Template W/date,time, Program Name At Bottom

[JamesMannes]

Here is a copy of a Report Template with the date,time, and program name placed at the bottom of the program(zipped link...go HERE (http://www.box.net/shared/static/qjvl8gaoa9.zip)) . I did this so that I can keep track of hard copies of the report should they get separated from each other.

The code immediately below this text is how to type in the info you would like to show up.


.DAT # Keyword

Important thing to remember is the syntax is case sensitive. At least it is when it is part of your PCDMIS part program I assume it is with templates as well.

SYSTEMDATE("MM'/'DD'/'YY") will only return "05/DD/YY" (assuming it is May)
SYSTEMDATE("MM'/'dd'/'yy") will return the actual date formated as month/day/year with leading zeros.

Thnaks Wes,
I'm glad you got a kick out of my little attempt at humor. Sometimes I don't know if I'm being funny or a dumbbazz. A toast to Wes with some Whiskey!!!

A toast back to you! I notice Admin has deleted some more old threads, thus reducing our post counts, but they left my status as Demiguru. Curious. I know what you mean about not being sure if others will appreciate the humor or not, but you can't hit a homer if you don't swing for the fence, even if that does mean you strike out sometimes.

OH, I see, Ranger and J are still gurus but as soon as they post again, they go back to being ultra senior members. You retained guru status James, barely.

Do they remove stuff mainly from the off-topic side? Maybe that's the culprit. Just upping post count.

Yep, I think they mostly delete offtopic stuff. So next time around will be the 3rd time I have achieved guru status. Another 19 on-topic pads and I should be safe. LOL

Nope, we are just OLD members

From what I understand it is only the off topic side that gets a cleanup

I enjoy the humor, unless it is at my expense. Then I get hurt and cry.:(
