Answer / vinodquestion
HI friend,
Move function CURRENT-DATE to dt.
Here dt is a working storage variable.
If you want exactly date and time do this
Instead of CURRENT-DATE in above statement write this.
CURRENT-DATE(1:16)
That is using referential modification.

USING REFERENCE MODIFICATION WE GET DATE
1) current date
move function current-date (1:8) to ws-today
here ws-today is w.s.s variable
2) current time
move function current-date (9:6) to ws-time
here ws-time is the w.s.s variable
