CreateDateTime

[programmher]

I am trying to set ThisDate to equal CreateDateTime.

I declare the parameter below:


<cfparam name=&quot;ThisDate&quot; default&quot;&quot;>

I set the date:

<cfset ThisDate EQ #CreateDateTime('dd','mm','yy','hh:mm:ss')#>

Here is my error:

An error occurred while evaluating the expression:


ThisDate EQ #CreateDateTime('dd','mm','yy','hh:mm:ss')#


Parameter 1 of function CreateDateTime which is now &quot;dd&quot; must be an integer

What am I missing? I have used keyword search and have followed ALL the examples I found. I also tried declaring my cfparam's value to equal &quot;date&quot;. This did not work, either. What am I missing?!?

The function is expecting numbers or variables, the sript is trying to pas strings 'dd', but this won't work.

Syntax
CreateDateTime(year, month, day, hour, minute, second)

Example 1: 1/1/2001 12:00:00 AM
<cfset ThisDate = #CreateDateTime(2001,1,1,0,0,0)#>

Example 2: Today's Date - 12:00 00 PM
<cfset ThisDate = #CreateDateTime(Year(Now()),Month(Now()),Day(Now()),12,00,0)#>

Example 3: Today's Date - Current Server Time
<cfset ThisDate = #CreateDateTime(Year(Now()),Month(Now()),Day(Now()),Hour(Now()),Minute(Now()),Second(Now()))#>


If you want to get the current date and time, do the following:
<cfset ThisDate = #Now()#>
