Hi Experts,

//You can get current date

Date currDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

Hi Wojciech Matulewicz,

I have tried using this before and i faced this problem.

When i click on create proposal, the screen just refreshes and the CO execution doesnt ends.

Without ending this field, however things work fine.

here is the code:

Method technicalDescription()

IGPAttributeInfo date = output.addAttribute("DATE", IGPAttributeInfo.BASE_DATE);

date.setMultiplicity(IGPAttributeInfo.MULITIPLICITY_1_1);

Method execute()

Date currDate = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());

contextElement.setDate(currDate);

Method complete()

output.setAttributeValue("Date", wdContext.currentContextElement().getDate());

If i comment out this code, the CO execution works out fine, but on addition of this code the screen refreshes and CO execution doesnt end.

Am i doing something wrong???

please help me out with this.

Thanks.
