LoadRunner stores date/time parameters locally on the LoadRunner PC. This means that opening a script
on another users PC, where the date/time parameter is not stored, can cause corruption to the date/time
parameters in a script. You know that this has happened when a date/time parameter in this format
[%Y%m%d%H%M%S] is sent to the server rather than the format that you intended.
Due to this problem, It is recommend that the lr_save_datetime function is used to save date or time
values to a string. The string can then be used in the script and the script is portable between PCs because
we are no longer relying on the locally stored parameters.
Sample code
lr_save_datetime("%d/%m/%y", DATE_NOW, "DDMMYY");
lr_output_message("Today's Date is %s",lr_eval_string("{DDMMYY}"));
lr_save_datetime("%d/%m/%Y", DATE_NOW, "DDMMYYYY");
lr_output_message("Today's Date is %s",lr_eval_string("{DDMMYYYY}"));
lr_save_datetime("%B %d %Y", DATE_NOW, "Today");
lr_output_message("Today is %s",lr_eval_string("{Today}"));
lr_save_datetime("%B %d %Y", DATE_NOW + ONE_DAY, "Tomorrow");
lr_output_message("Tomorrow is %s",lr_eval_string("{Tomorrow}"));
lr_save_datetime("%A", DATE_NOW - ONE_DAY, "Yesterday");
lr_output_message("Yesterday was %s",lr_eval_string("{Yesterday}"));
lr_save_datetime("%A", DATE_NOW, "Today");
lr_output_message("Today is %s",lr_eval_string("{Today}"));
lr_save_datetime("%A", DATE_NOW + ONE_DAY, "Tomorrow");
lr_output_message("Tomorrow is %s",lr_eval_string("{Tomorrow}"));
lr_save_datetime("%X", TIME_NOW , "Time");
lr_output_message("The time is %s (in this locale's date format)",lr_eval_string("{Time}"));
lr_save_datetime("%X", TIME_NOW + ONE_HOUR , "Time");
lr_output_message("In one hour it will be %s",lr_eval_string("{Time}"));

lr_output_message("Tomorrow is %s",lr_eval_string("{Tomorrow}"));

lr_save_datetime("%Z", DATE_NOW, "TimeZone");

lr_save_datetime("%p", DATE_NOW, "AMPM");
