Returns the current local time and date in various formats.
The current local time and date is provided by the EDMserver to facilitate a synchronous time and date for all EDMserver clients.

Header:
#include "sdai.h"
Prototype:
EdmiError edmiGetLocalDate(EdmiPackedDate *packedDate,
                            EdmiDate       *date,
                            EdmiStringDate *stringDate,
                            SdaiInteger    stringFormat);
Arguments:

packedDate	Address of a variable that will receive the current local time and date in an EdmiPackedDate format. Dates from January 1^st, 1990 to December 31^st, 2053 can be represented in this format. Use edmiUnpackDate to convert the packed date into a readable format.
date	Address of a data structure that will receive the current local time and date in EdmiDate format. The actual data is located in a buffer in EDMinterface that can be overwritten in the next EDMinterface call. The datatype EdmiDate is a structure comprising nine longs holding the following values; second : [0-59] minute : [0-59] hour : [0-23] day : [1-31] month : [1-12] year : [1990-2053] weekday: [0:Sunday, 1:Monday, … 6:Saturday] dayOfYear ; [1-366] Not yet implemented. DaylightSavingTime: Not yet implemented.
stringDate	Address of a variable that will receive the current local time and date in a readable string format. The actual string is located in a buffer in EDMinterface that may be overwritten by the next EDMinterface call. If you need to preserve this string, use strcpy to create a copy. NOTE: Do not use edmFree to release this memory.
stringFormat	Dummy. Not yet used.

Returns:
A completion code of datatype EdmiError is the returned function value. The completion code has the following values:
Completion code = 0 : Operation successfully performed.
Completion code != 0: Error in operation. Completion code is an EDMinterface error code. Use edmiGetErrorText to get the error text corresponding to the error code.
EXAMPLE
EdmiError rstat;
EdmiPackedDate packedDate;
EdmiStringDate stringDate;
EdmiDate date;
. . .
if (rstat = edmiGetLocalDate(&packedDate, &date, &strDate, 0)) {
printf("\nError %d in edmiGetLocalDate: %s", rstat,
edmiGetErrorText(rstat));
goto error;
}
printf("\nTime: %02d:%02d:%02d", date.hour, date.minute, date.second);
printf("\nDate: %02d/%02d/%04d", date.day, date.month, date.year);
printf("\nString Formatted Date: %s", strDate);
printf("\nPacked Date: %lu", packedDate);
