SERVERDATE keyword is not working

Hi, I just setup P&D to schedule send reports. Everything works fine except that I'd like to put the current date on the email subject and the keyword is not working.  Other keyword such as COMPANYNAME does work.  The subject is like this:

 

Inventory aging report on $[SERVERDATE] for $[COMPANYNAME]

 

When the email gets send, the subject becomes:

Inventory aging report on $[SERVERDATE] for companyABC

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  Hi Alan,

  I cannot reproduce this issue. I will convert this to a ticket and ask the development.

  Hi Alan

  Not sure if you have found the answer from the Help (F1)  but to put today's date, you should put

  DateFormat in the front.  So the correct syntax should be

  DateFormat($[SERVERDATE]|dd-MM-yyyy)

  Please try and let us know.  There are other formats available as well, please click F1 when you are in the Email configuration screen.
