Date is a datatype in NAV. Just declare a variable of type Date as you would declare one of type Integer or Boolean.
Then you can assign a value to the variable, or use the value of the variable just as with any variable of any kind.
There are funktions to construct a date, to get the current date (TODAY), to get the WORKDATE set in the client, to disect a date etc. e.g. get the month, get the day of the week ...
There is also a type Time and a type DateTime, which is a combination of a date and a time into one single value. And there are more functions to deal with those and to convert between any of these.
