1) what I usually do is make a temp field at the end of an existing input
segment at the level where I need the date/time and use a std rule to assign
the current date/time to it and then use the extended rule on that same field
to manipulate the format or assign it, etc. The order of execution is std
rules then extended rules so you do have the current datetime from the std rule
available to you when the extended rule executes.
2) As stated by others, create a global variable (I use the session rules for
that) assign it on the input side and then use it wherever you need it after
that point.
