How to get current system date Hi

Hi,
How do I query for current system date in unix format/ISO date format from
the system? I could not find any inbuilt function for this. Can you please
give some pointers?
Thanks,
Ips

%default CurrentTime `date +%s`

Then adjust the arguments to 'date' based upon the format you need.
