Date Time
Date Time action keywords help us to make changes to the date-time and use the according to our convenience.
Suppose the default date format set in application configuration is MM/dd/yy & you wish to use the current date in the format dd,MM,yyyy.
Structure :
setDateFormat <parameter>
copyCurrentDate <parameters>
If setDateFormat keyword was not used, the current date would be stored in the default format (mentioned under Application Configuration).
Now since we have used serDateFormat keyword, the current date will be stored in the newly set format.
