Description
$DATE_TIME can be used to specify a fixed date and time while running an application. This can be helpful for testing applications. When this assignment is set, the ProcScript functions such as $date, $datim, and so on, will always deliver the same DateTime, so that it seems that the system clock is no longer running.
Note: Do not use this setting with applications that depend on a running clock, such as those that store timestamps, to test for Year 2000 problems. Clock-dependent applications will have problems. Year 2000 tests use the actual system clock instead of an imported date and time.
