## Parameters

None.

## Return Value

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
DateTime value.
:::

:::hint{type="info"}
If the application has to display the return value, it implicitly converts it to text, thereby allowing the display format to change depending on your culture code. See [Available Languages and Cultures](docId\:lvpBgqv5Z08McUzY43kY3) for a list of the culture codes used by Neurons for ITSM.
:::

## Example

`$(CurrentDate())`

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
If the current date is January 15, 2014 at 5:30 PM and your time zone is Pacific time (which is UTC-7 during daylight savings time but UTC-8 during standard time), this function returns January 16, 2014 at 12:00 AM on the server and local time of January 15, 2014 at 12:00 AM on the client.
:::

`$(CurrentDate())`

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
