23 May 2006 Additional Reserved Variables Simplify Monitoring
To simplify customer's transaction monitoring activities we've added some new reserved variables that return fixed-format values rather than variable format. For example $_Date2 returns the current date as 01, 02, ..., 10, 11, ... which is more convenient in some cases when interfacing into databases than $_Date, which returns the current date as 1, 2, ..., 10, 11, ...

There are now fixed-width versions for all of these values: $_Year2, $_Month2, $_Date2, $_Weekday2, $_Hour2 and $_Minute2. For complete details on how this feature works to feed current data into a playback script see the eValid on-line documentation on Reserved Variables.
