Dears,

I’d like to ask for your help how to get the current system time using Script connector?

So far, I tried to use:

- \<arc:set attr=“timestamp” value=“[utcnow()]” /\>
- \<arc:set attr=“timestamp” value=“[now()]” /\>

But I got the error saying this:

**Execute ‘RSSBus.RsbOps.RSBFunctions.now’ function failed: The function ‘now’ could not be found.**

What is the correct format? I m using ArcESB 2020 EDI.

Hi,

Could you please attempt using:

```auto
<arc:set attr="timestamp" value="[_ | now()]" />

```
