$$Variable for Current Year

Hi, I have quite a few scripts that perform finds for "2011" as a text field.

Is it possible to make a global variable $$CurrentYear so that I don't have to manually go through all these scripts every year and update the year number to the current year.

Thanks,

jim

Set Variable ($$CurrentYear ; year( get ( currentdate ) )

Thanks, I thought I tried that.

And then I just tried

Set Variable $$Current Year ; Substitute ( "*/*/" & Year ( Get ( CurrentDate ) ) ;[ "*" ; ""] ; ["/" ; ""] )

which seemed to work.

THen I tried your cleaner suggestion which also worked. Thanks!
