Something strange with date

Hello,

 

I submit this very simple workspace that writes three text files containing the current date obtained in different ways from a private parameter (Today).

I get 3 different files when I thought I could get the same 3 files. Moreover, there is no problem to create directories containing the date.

Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like a bug. Especially since when I designed the workspace, test1.txt contained the expected result... If the .fmw is copied or moved, the problem occurs.

I ran this workspace on version 2020.1 (FME(R) 2020.1.1 (20200817 - Build 20614 - WIN64).

    It looks like there are different implementations of Parameter handling.Today definition

    The way $Today is defined you shouldn't get anything else then @Left(@DateTimeNow(),8) without using @Evaluate. Lets wait for someone from Safe to comment on this.
