CURRENT_DATE ( )

The CURRENT_DATE function returns the current date in local time.

This example creates a table of invoices and inserts the current date 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_DATE());
      
      SELECT * 
      FROM INVOICES
      INTO :aDate;
   End SQL
      `the aDate array will return the INSERT command execution date and time.

CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
