'mm/dd/yyyy' isn't a function, just a format.

Marguerita 11 months ago

Wait, can you really use Now() for just the date? Seems off.

Cherelle 12 months ago

I agree, Today() is the simplest option!

Remona 12 months ago

I think GetDate() could work too, but not as straightforward.

Marjory 1 year ago

The Today() function is definitely the right choice here.

Myong 1 year ago

I’m leaning towards Now() because it gives the current date and time, but I’m not entirely confident about that.

Wilford 1 year ago

I feel like I saw a similar question where GetDate() was the answer, but I can't quite remember the context.

Bronwyn 1 year ago

I think the function we need is Today(), but I also recall something about Now() being used for timestamps.

France 1 year ago

I remember practicing with date functions, but I'm not sure if it's Today() or GetDate() for setting the current date.

Jesusita 1 year ago

The format options 'mm/dd/yyyy' and 'dd/mm/yyyy' don't look right to me. I think those are just for displaying the date, not setting the value. I'm confident 'Today()' is the way to go here.

Gilma 1 year ago

'Now()' seems like it might work, but I'm not sure if that returns the date or the full date and time. I'll have to double-check the Blue Prism documentation to be sure.

Delbert 1 year ago

Okay, let me think this through. The question says the 'Date Today' data item is a Date data type, so I should use a function that returns a date value. I'm going to go with 'Today()' for this one.

Lemuel 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused here. Is 'GetDate()' the same as 'Today()'? I'm not sure which one to pick.

Wynell 1 year ago

Hmm, this looks like a straightforward question. I think the 'Today()' function would be the best choice to set the 'Date Today' data item to the current date.

I'm going with D) Now(). If it's good enough for my alarm clock, it's good enough for this exam!

B) and E) are clearly just date formats, not functions. A) Today() sounds like it might work, but Now() is probably the intended answer.

Bette 2 years ago

↳ replying to Arleen

I think A) Today() is the function to use.

I was leaning towards C) GetDate(), but Now() makes more sense since it's a one-liner to get the current date.

Raina 2 years ago

I'm not sure, but I think D) Now() could also be used to set the current date
