Description and comments

datesyst is an Adonix system variable automatically set to the current date when an Adonix application is started. It is then not reset by Adonix (even when the date is changed to midnight) but it may be reassigned by a routine.

The other option is to use the date$ function, that corresponds to the current date, and that is reset every 24 hours.
