    Hi,

    Is there a way to change the date format from Object (year,month,day)? Basically, what I want is to format the date by YYYYMMDD. Currently the output I have is 2011113 (nov 3, 2011), but what I want is 20111103. Thanks

    Hi, have you tried to use the Format Date/Time activity? You can specify input and output in anyway with that activity.

    When you work with "Format Date/Time" (Utilities-Section) the Output-Format should be yyyyMMdd (case sensitive!).

    Hi,

    Maybe a better way and to keep the objects to a minimum, use nested functions:
     

    [Right('0{Object end time (seconds) from "Run Program"}',2)]

    in this case if there is one digit. it will ad a zero in front of it.
