CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ( )

The CURRENT_TIMESTAMP function returns the current date and local time.

This example creates a table of invoices and inserts the current date and time into the INV_DATE column:

   ARRAY STRING(30;aDate;0)
   Begin SQL   
      CREATE TABLE INVOICES      
      (INV_DATE VARCHAR(40));
      
      INSERT INTO INVOICES
      (INV_DATE)     
      VALUES (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP());
      
      SELECT *
      FROM INVOICES   
      INTO :aDate;
   End SQL
      `the aDate array will return the INSERT command execution date and time.

CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME.
