Better or more detailed reference for LPL?

Hello. I've been trying to learn LPL to help support an existing HR Talent implementation.

I'm aware of the "Configuration Console Reference Guide: Landmark Pattern Language (LPL)", and it is a great help.

One thing i've run into though is that there are certain portions of the language i'm not finding any documentation or reference on, and i'm not sure where to look to find more:

For example, we have a field declaration on a business class as follows:

OrgNameCurrentDate is a DerivedField

type is Alpha size 10

return system current corporate date

I think in this case I understand what is happening - its using the corporate timezone's current date. What i haven't found is where there is any mention of being able to include that keyword "corporate".

Reference shows:

I'm wondering if i'm just not searching in the right place to be able to confirm what "corporate" does in this context. Thank you!

Check the URL you are using...my reference looks different:

docs.infor.com/.../inforlandmarkconfigurationconsolelpl.pdf

So when a timestamp converts to a date it could convert to today's date or tomorrow's date depending on the time zone you are using for conversion.

"corporate" will look to your TimeZone busclass setup (if any) for the time zone you set as your preferred corporate time zone. This comes into play with timestamp conversion and usually matters most with date boundaries. Without corporate the default time zone used is the server time, and in MT that's GMT.

Typically a server-side logic/batch situation.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Shaheen. It looks like you are linking to the 2023.x version of the guide and i'm using the 2024.x version -- unfortunately that link doesn't work for me, but maybe i can try to get ahold of that document.

Thanks again!

That's interesting....it's still the same for me when I look at the 2024.x version compared to the 2023.x version.
