Hi,

I've accidently noticed that if I declare a parameter named CurrentDate manually, It does not switch the internal CurrentDate parameter. So can we say that CurrentDate parameter's level is lower than the node parameter itself? And are there more parameters like CurrentDate, those we should prevent ourselves declaring?

Thank you

�zg�n,

Internal parameters such as {{^CurrentDate^}} cannot be overridden at any level of the node/composite/graph hierarchy. There is a list of special internal parameters listed in the BRE Help. From the BRE menu select Help->BRE Help. Once the help screen opens on the right-hand side of the screen select Parameters->Special Parameters. There you will find a list of internal parameters that can be used in your nodes.

Thanks,
Larry

When we run the special parameter {{^CurrentDate^}} on LAE6.1.1 in BRE it comes back with "2012" as the date.

This is the server it is running on and it's giving the correct date.

How are you using it in BRE?

I think you need to use the parameter within quotes to get a string value or convert it a date type.
Using the parameter without quotes results in an integer value (2011 for me). Either of the following should provide the date value:

Today_str = "{{^CurrentDate^}}"

Today_date = date("{{^CurrentDate^}}", "CCYY-MM-DD")

Thank you. It needed double quotes.

It works with the code like this.

emit "{{^CurrentDate^}}" as Y
