Hi,
Just wanna ask how can I get the date ONLY value of a date-time field or variable and still use it a date? Because currently, it’s either I can retrieve the date only value but in a string data type or retrieve the date plus the time.
Thanks a lot.

Depends what you are trying to do
See NotesHelp on NotesDateTime.DateOnly
or
use the Format function eg
Format(doc.YourDateField(0), “dd/mm/yyyy”)

guess i’m giving a late reply here, but i think i’ve just met the same problem:Wanting to set a date/time-field to just contain the date value and doing this using Lotus script.
The problem with dateonly and format is that they return text values so the date/time field becomes text
The CDat() function will add the time element. I’ve tried to combine these functions - but no success.
Anyone?

Use a NotesDateTime object. If you use the .SetAnyTime method against it, the time component is removed, leaving only a date (like using @Date in Formula Language). Similarly, using .SetAnyDate removes the date component,leaving only the time.
