Hi,

I am using job variable %MessageTimeStamp% in email notification, I am trying to format it to MM/dd/yyyy using %MessageTimeStamp{MM/dd/yyyy}%. but it does not seem work in my case. Can you advice?  Thanks

The problem here is that when adTempus sets the MessageTimestamp variable, it's setting it as a pre-formatted string, rather than as a date-type variable, so the formatting options won't work for it.

The best workaround will be to use an inline function to insert the current date in that format:

%=now("MM/dd/yyyy")%
