Dear Shawn, Sebb, Neil, and JMeter Users:
Neil's suggested __javaScript function creates a date string in the format MM/DD/YYYY
with JMeter 2.0.1. It does not require installing the BeanShell jar.
${__javaScript(var d = new Date(); var date = d.getDate(); $DATE = (d.getMonth() + 1)
+ "/" + (date < 10 ? "0"+date : date) + "/" + d.getFullYear();,DATE)}
A possible work-around for Shawn if he must use the function that creates the date
with three trailing spaces:
1. Use one parameter with the __javaScript function that creates the date with the
trailing three spaces.
2. Use a second parameter with a __regexFunction to get just the date, excluding the
trailing three spaces.
Sincerely yours,
Kyle

Did you install the BeanShell jar? It's not included with JMeter - I
should have mentioned that.
Did you check jmeter.log in case there were any error messages?
The next release of JMeter has better documentation ...
