writing a template i need the symbols:

%ProgramDateChanged (The date the program was last changed)  
and %ProgramTimeChanged (same for the time)

but, as somebody said in a forum long time ago, those are not working.  
How can they be replaced ??

They work but can only be used in a global template because its dependant on the %application template symbol, which is a global template symbol.

In theory those symbols should work elsewhere, but (embed) code templates tend to be disconnected a bit which can cause the odd the problem and procedure extension templates should be ok, but sometimes I would get problems.

Dont know if its my machine or the templates, but they work here in c6 in a global template.

When I initially code that template, I think it was in cw5, it worked. Now it is not working with cw10 and up (I don’t remember exactly when). I have some ideas how to recode it according to what you said.
