EdmiError edmiGetLocalDate(EdmiPackedDate *packedDate,
                            EdmiDate       *date, 
                            EdmiStringDate *stringDate, 
                            SdaiInteger    stringFormat);

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.

Arguments

Type	Name	Comment
EdmiPackedDate	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.
EdmiDate	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.
EdmiStringDate	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.
SdaiInteger	stringFormat	Dummy. Not yet used.
