running SQL cmd against Progress db

Hi,

In Oracle/PLSQL, the localtimestamp function returns the current date and
time in the time zone of the current SQL session as set by the ALTER
SESSION
command. It returns a TIMESTAMP value.10-Sep-05 10.58.24 PM

select localtimestamp from dual

Can I  similar when the above SQL command againt progress db. 

if not what is my alternate solution?

Thanks,
