You can just write a select statement to give
you the date right from SQLBase. I'm not familiar
with SQLBase per se, but there is probably a table
with one row, or a dummy table (like DUAL in Oracle).
You can right a select in a procedure like:

begin-select
SYSDATE &Date
  move &Date to $Date
from DUAL
end-select

Hope this helps,
Jeremy
