Hi, I want to set the value of &NOW to the current time stamp in Oracle format (like 17-MAY-13 10.03.05.000000000 PM). Please help.This message has been edited. Last edited by: FP Mod Chuck,
That strongly depends on your NLS settings in Oracle. The most reliable method of obtaining that information is querying it from Oracle.

Welcome to Focal Point. This is a great resource for getting answers to your development questions.
I agree with Web5622 that getting this info directly from Oracle would be the easiest because the internal data functions with WebFOCUS do not format them to be Oracle specific. I found this link that tells how to do this with Oracle. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19...200/functions037.htm Once you have this value you can set &NOW to that value. I am assuming you want to use SQL passthru for a query back to Oracle after you have it..
Thank you for using Focal Point!
