Hi there,

 

I would like to create a variable showing the date of today in 052518 format. 

i chose two function, DateTimeToday() and DateTimeParse(d,f). But I got an error message like below.

error: Malformed Function Call

 

Can you help me? Thanks.

Hello @Amy18

 

You are trying to use datetimeparse. You want to use datetimeformat. See Attached.
