Today's date

[Ush]

Hi,

I need a function/system variable similar to @Date in Server.It should do the following:
At the first call in a job, the function calls the operating system for the date. On the second and subsequent calls, the function returns the value of the first call.

Thanks.

I guess CurrentDate() function in a transformer stage would do the trick.

The DataStage macro DSJobStartTimestamp should be available in a Transformer stage. Or simply initialize a stage variable to CurrentDate() and don't derived it as each new row is processed.
