Variable for YEAR only

[scooter262]

I've seen a couple of posts on this, but no solution. This works for me.

Code: Select all

Copyright 1996 - <script type="text/javascript">/*<![CDATA[*/document.write((new Date()).getFullYear());/*]]>*/</script>
 My_company#160;. All rights reserved.

The script is the main component: when the Help is generated, it gets converted to the current year.

It won't work for PDFs, however. I need to update that manually every year.

I'm not sure what the problem is with the year, I haven't read all posts.
If you add a DateTime variable to your variable set and define it as yyyy - doesn't this work?
DateTime variable is the second option in the VariableSet Editor:

Thanks. This worked. I did not realise we have to enter the date formatin the Definition column. Your illustration made the difference: it's yyyy.
