This main use of this functions to return the current system time at any given point of time while loadrunner script is running.This function can be used to report transaction times , script starting time and end time.
Attached is a sample script for demo purpose.
Please share more methods to work with date time functions on loadrunner and support this community.
Output of above code:
Other Example: lr_save_datetime
In the following example, lr_save_datetime retrieves tomorrow's date.
lr_save_datetime("Tomorrow is %B %d %Y", DATE_NOW + ONE_DAY, "next");
lr_output_message(lr_eval_string("{next}"));
// Output: Action.c(4): Tomorrow is November 18 2014
These examples show the effect of formatting:
lr_save_datetime("%Y-%m-%d", DATE_NOW, "dateReceived");
lr_output_message(lr_eval_string("{dateReceived}"));
// Output: Action.c(7): 2014-11-17
lr_save_datetime("%m/%d/%Y %H:%M", DATE_NOW, "currDateTime");
lr_output_message(lr_eval_string("{currDateTime}"));
// Output: Action.c(10): 11/17/2014 15:14
