The $Sir_DateND function has no arguments and returns the number of days since 1 January, 1900.

%num = $Sir_DateND

%num	This numeric variable is set to the number of days from 1 Jan 1900 to the current date.

$Sir_DateND has no error conditions.
Values returned by $Sir_DateND can be represented in a 4-byte BINARY field, if you choose to do so.
To obtain the current date and time in a readable form, use $Sir_Date.
