SetTime Initialization Variable

See Also

Controls the date and time given to your local copies by a Get command.

Syntax

SetTime = {Current|Mod|Update}

Example

Gives files a new date/time stamp when VSS gets them:

SetTime = Current

Remarks

• Current Sets the date and time of the file to the current date and time by default, whenever VSS gets a file (with the Get, Check Out, or Undo Check Out command). This signals the compiler that the file has just changed, and has to be recompiled.
  
  
• Modification Sets the local copy to the date and time the file was last modified.
  
  
• Update Sets the local copy to the date and time the file was last checked in.

You can also set this variable in your SS.INI file by using the Set Date/Time on Local Files option on the Local Files tab in the SourceSafe Options dialog box.
