I have two versions of an app that I am currently trying to add the compilation date, the first app is a basic Powerbuilder app and I have this in my global variables:

constant string gv_string_compile =String(Today(), "mmm dd, yyyy h:mm AM/PM")

This works fine and the actual compile date always shows up in the about window for the app.

But the same code in a Winform app, will always generate the actual date rather than the compile date... any work arounds?

Thanks to all for your help !

I will adapt my code as described.

Hi Patrice,

I did many kinds of verifications in PB 2017 and PB 2021 but didn’t reproduce the issue you described. If the issue persists, I suggest you submit a bug to our support system https://www.appeon.com/standardsupport/newbug and provide an example case there for us.

Regards,
Ken

Hi Patrice;

   Here is what I use in my STD framework. This works perfectly in all Appeon PB versions, as follows:

// Compile Constants
Constant     Date      id_compiled    = Today ( )        // Date last Compiled
Constant     Time      it_compiled    =  Now ( )         // Time last Compiled

Have a global or instance variable:

DateTime dtCompileDate = Today()

When the object is compiled, the compiled code has the current date hard coded.

Hi, Patrice - 

I've done this in a very similar manner, except I include the keyword "Constant".

I don't currently have access to PB 2021 to verify, but I have verified this works in 2019 R3.

HTH, John
