Informix DataBlade API Programmer's Manual DataBlade API Function Descriptions

The dtcurrent() function assigns the current date and time to a datetime variable.

void dtcurrent(d)

	dtime_t *d;

 



d  

is a pointer to the initialized datetime variable. 

When the variable qualifier is set to zero (0) (or any invalid qualifier), the dtcurrent() function initializes it with the year to fraction(3) qualifier.

When the variable contains a valid qualifier, the dtcurrent() function extends the current date and time to agree with the qualifier.

The following statements set the variable now to the current time, to the nearest millisecond:

now.dt_qual  =  TU_DTENCODE(TU_HOUR,TU_F3);

dtcurrent(&now);
