# ETL: ClockTime

> Return the current UTC datetime at the moment each individual record is processed. Use CLOCKTIME for per-record timestamps in ETL pipeline jobs.

## Description

Returns the ISO DateTime value (UTC time zone) when the function is called for each individual record. Thus, over the course of the job runtime the records ClockTime will progress.  This differs from CurrentTime() where the DateTime value returned is for when the job was submitted and thus all the records have the same CurrentTime.

## Syntax

`ClockTime()`

## Examples

`ClockTime()` returns current time (Eg: 2018-09-30T16:38:45.979Z ).

## Return value datatype

DateTime
