OP Get server date

version 1.5

OP Get server date (connectionID; serverDate) Longint

Parameter	Type		Description
connectionID	Longint		Connection ID with target server
serverDate	Date		Current system date on server
Function result	Longint		Error code result for the function

OP Get server date returns in serverDate the system's date on the server indicated by connectionID.

If OP Get server date executes successfully, it returns 0. Otherwise, this function returns one of the following errors:

Error Code	Description
10128	The 4D Open for 4th Dimension package has not been initialized.
10136	The connection does not exist.
10154	This command cannot be executed right now.

This example uses the server's system date and time to timestamp order entry. The 'getTimeStamp' method ensures that even if some of the worstations have a wrong time or date, they will get the proper settings from the server.
