We have been using the data tab to set values in our workflow model like Target = VARX, Initial Value = "YYYYY", but what I would like to know is are there any built in functions that we can utilize. In some situations I would like to set a variable to the current timestamp like you would in DB2. I.e. VARX = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP or VARX = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - 20 DAYS or VARX = DAY(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP). Is any of this type of functionality available within workflow or do I always need to call off to an application to calculate these values for me. Decision point logic like VARX <= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - 20 DAYS. If this type of functionality is available and anyone could point me to a page in the Programming Guide for details that would be great. Thank you for any help you can give!

There are NO builtin functions for the Mapping dialog that I am aware of.

As far as i know, i dont think that there is any build in functions for your requirement in workflow or in workbench. if i were u, then i would use a simple UPES to do ur task.

Thanks for all the advice. I will probably just use message broker to do date calculations with an SQL statement.

thanks!
