Date Macros

You can use date macros in log file paths, report output paths, e-mail subject and message, etc. The date macros are based on the current date with correction for custom time offset (if such option is set).

Macro	Range	Description

Date Modification
%Date%		This is the only macro that produces no output. It is used to change the base date for all other macros. By default the current date is used but you can subtract or add several days to the date by using the macro formats %Date-n% or %Date+n%, where n is the number of added or subtracted days.

Numeric Macros
These macros produce numeric output. You can either use simple format like %macro%, or format like %macro-n% or %macro+n%. n is a number added or subtracted from the macro value.
