[Ok :=] GETSTAMP(Name, Date [, Time])

Parameters

Name

Type: Code or TextThe name of the file, including the path. When you enter the path, consider these shortcuts:

• You can omit the drive designation if the file is located on the current drive.
  
• You can omit the full path if the file is located in the current directory.
  
• You can enter only the subdirectory name if the file is located in a subdirectory of the current directory.
  

Date

Type: DateThe date that the file was last written to.

Time

Type: Time(Optional) The time that the file was last written to.

Type: Boolean

If you omit this optional return value, then a run-time error occurs when the file cannot be found. When you include the return value, you must handle any errors. The return value can have these values:

true if the file exists and the function completes successfully; otherwise, false.

This example requires that you create the following variables and text constant in the C/AL Globals window.
