Get current DateTime

Getting current system datetime:

DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime();

Getting current date:
SystemDateGet();

DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime

Use DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime instead of systemDateGet or today.
The today function uses the date of the machine.
The systemDateGet method uses the system date in Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Only DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime compensates for the time zone of the user.
