 •
In client/server and peer-to-peer environments, Get(CurrentTimestamp) evaluates the status of the client machine running the script (not the host machine). For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the FileMaker Knowledge Base available at http://help.filemaker.com.
Examples 
Returns 11:30:00 AM when the function result is in text format and the system clock shows 11:30:00 AM.
