System variables

[Jany Quintard <quintard.j@xxxxxx>]

Hi all
I am looking for a method to use date and time of execution in my
stylesheets.
If I run openjade on a Unix, it is very easy to store the value in
a variable and pass it to the program with the -V switch.
The problem begins with DOS. I don't know the command language very well
and it seems to be poor. Actually, I am not even sure that
such a "complicated" data manipulation is possible.
I want to avoid to tell my customer (and collegue) to enter the date,
since the system should be able to retrieve it.

I am wondering if there would be a solution in DSSSL (I did not find it in
the spec) or in OpenJade itself ?

Any idea ?

Jany.
