Example

The code below demonstrates how you can set a new system date and/or time.

JavaScript, JScript

function SettingNewSystemDateTime()
{
  var dt1 = aqDateTime.SetDateTimeElements(2010, 6, 22, 10, 15, 12);
  var dt2 = aqDateTime.SetDateElements(2010, 6, 22);
  var time1 = aqDateTime.SetTimeElements(10, 15, 12);

  // Set a new system date
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(dt2);
  // Set new system time
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(time1);
  // -- or --
  // Set a new system date and time using one function
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(dt1);

  // Post the current date and time to the test log
  var dt = aqDateTime.Now();
  Log.Message(dt);
}

Python

def SettingNewSystemDateTime():
  dt1 = aqDateTime.SetDateTimeElements(2010, 6, 22, 10, 15, 12)
  dt2 = aqDateTime.SetDateElements(2010, 6, 22)
  time1 = aqDateTime.SetTimeElements(10, 15, 12)
  # Set a new system date
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(dt2)
  # Set new system time
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(time1)
  # --or--
  # Set a new system date and time using one function
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(dt1)
  # Post the current date and time to the test log
  dt = aqDateTime.Now()
  Log.Message(dt)

VBScript

Sub SettingNewSystemDateTime
  Dim dt1, dt2, time1, dt

  dt1 = aqDateTime.SetDateTimeElements(2010, 6, 22, 10, 15, 12)
  dt2 = aqDateTime.SetDateElements(2010, 6, 22)
  time1 = aqDateTime.SetTimeElements(10, 15, 12)

  ' Set a new system date
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime dt2
  ' Set new system time
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime time1
  ' -- or --
  ' Set a new system date and time using one function
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime dt1

  ' Post the current date and time to the test log
  dt = aqDateTime.Now
  Log.Message dt
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure SettingNewSystemDateTime;
var dt1, dt2, time1, dt: OleVariant;
begin
  dt1 := aqDateTime.SetDateTimeElements(2010, 6, 22, 10, 15, 12);
  dt2 := aqDateTime.SetDateElements(2010, 6, 22);
  time1 := aqDateTime.SetTimeElements(10, 15, 12);

  // Set a new system date
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(dt2);
  // Set new system time
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(time1);
  // -- or --
  // Set a new system date and time using one function
  aqDateTime.SetSystemDateTime(dt1);

  // Post the current date and time to the test log
  dt := aqDateTime.Now;
  Log.Message(dt);
end;

C++Script, C#Script

function SettingNewSystemDateTime()
{
  var dt1 = aqDateTime["SetDateTimeElements"](2010, 6, 22, 10, 15, 12);
  var dt2 = aqDateTime["SetDateElements"](2010, 6, 22);
  var time1 = aqDateTime["SetTimeElements"](10, 15, 12);

  // Set a new system date
  aqDateTime["SetSystemDateTime"](dt2);
  // Set new system time
  aqDateTime["SetSystemDateTime"](time1);
  // -- or --
  // Set a new system date and time
  aqDateTime["SetSystemDateTime"](dt1);

  // Post the current date and time to the test log
  var dt = aqDateTime["Now"]();
