There are several methods used to include the compilation date (and time) of an application into some visual object component like the application's "About" box.
Jason Vogel
// The application version
date d_compile_date = Today()
ls_version = "Version 0.9.78 - " + string(d_compile_date)
of_SetVersion (ls_Version)
Phil Armstrong
We use this global variable. The time is updated whenever the app is saved or regenerated. An incremental build may not update the variable.
datetime gdt_build = DateTime(Today(), Now())
Boris Gasin
You need to assign a value to the variable in the declaration line. It will be evaluated when the object is saved. It is also already done in
PFC 6.0 pfc_n_cst_debug :
constant date PFC_BUILD_DATE = Today()
constant time PFC_BUILD_TIME = Now()
5.0 pfc_n_cst_debug :
constant date icd_build = Today()
constant time ictm_build = Now()
Simply reference those variables
MessageBox("Build Date",String(DateTime(n_cst_debug.PFC_BUILD_DATE,
n_cst_debug.PFC_BUILD_TIME))
Roy Kiesler
Declare an instance variable of time datetime in your application object as follows:
Protected:
Datetime idt_stamp = DateTime( Today(), Now() )
When you reference this variable in your about box, it will contain the value assigned to it at compile time. Why and how: Powerbuilder treats variables initialized as part of their declaration as CONSTANTS! Simple.

CONSTANT Date c_TODAY = Today()
CONSTANT Time c_NOW = Now()
// Open for w_about
st_compile.Text = String( DateTime( c_TODAY, c_NOW ))

Just a reminder that inside the pfc_n_cst_debug service PFC 6 has the following information:
constant integer PFC_MAJOR = 6
constant integer PFC_MINOR = 0
constant integer PFC_FIXES = 0
constant string PFC_NAME = "PowerBuilder Foundation Classes"
constant date PFC_BUILD_DATE = Today()
constant time PFC_BUILD_TIME = Now()
P.S. PFC 5 has similar information but with different constant names.
