NotesDateTime (LotusScript®)

SetNow (NotesDateTime - LotusScript®)
Sets the value of a date-time to now (today's date and current time).
Examples: SetNow method

Examples: SetNow method

This script creates a new NotesDateTime object with the default date, and then resets it to the current date and time. For example, if the SetNow method executes at 8:04:04 PM on August 15, 1996, then dateTime represents 08/15/96 08:04:04 PM.
```
Dim dateTime As New NotesDateTime( "" )
Call dateTime.SetNow
```
This script sets the PurgeDate item in a document to two months from now. For example, if the SetNow method executes at 8:04:04 PM on August 15, 1996, then PurgeDate has a value of 10/15/96 8:04:04 PM.
```
Dim doc As NotesDocument
'...set value of doc...
Dim dateTime As New NotesDateTime( "" )
Call dateTime.SetNow
Call dateTime.AdjustMonth( 2 )
Set doc.PurgeDate = dateTime
Call doc.Save( True, True )
```
