BUILD Date

Question:
How do I capture the build date in PowerBuilder 6.5 and put it in an instance variable?

Answer:
Yes. You need to declare a constant integer variable and assign it to the current date as part of the definition:

Constant Date ld_MyDate = Today()

Then just reference it where you need to display the build date (about window, etc.).
