Sebb, Your suggestion is a good idea. Unfortunately, when I tried it, I found it returns nothing (an empty string). Maybe I did something wrong in my test. Are there any detail documents that includes examples about this function some where? The doc of this function (and actually all other functions) in the usermanual is just too brief. Thanks for your help. -Shawn Xie

I am Re-reading my reply, I see I was not very clear: I was suggesting that you might be able to use the OS to dynamically generate the date string. ... another possibility would be to use the __BeanShell() function to generate the date. For example ${__BeanShell(new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").format(new Date()))} This is best done in a User Parameters Pre-Processor element. > already very close to get what I want, but just those tail white spaces > give me trouble.
