I'm not sure that I understand your question, but here goes. The CP's Station block contains the current date and time in parameters of the block. Check out the Station block write-up in FoxDoc. Also, the CALC block can give you the number of seconds since midnight of the current day (the TIM instruction, I think). You can put that in an output attribute. Remember that it is reset to 0 each day at midnight. You can also write a cron script and store the current time in a Shared Variable. The SV should be created using omcrt in the /etc/fox/user_apps.dat. The UNIX date command will give you the value to store. Hope this helps.
