Currently when I try to pass the Windows Environment Variable %DATE% into a MicroStation Config variable it doesn't work?

Normally to pass a Windows Environment variable to a Config variable I would do something like this, but it doesn't work?

_CURRENT_DATE = $(DATE)

I would also like to get the current time from the Environment.

_CURRENT_TIME = $(TIME)

So, I would like to have this enabled as a change for future build?

[Yes, it can be captured with VBA/VBE but being able to access Date/Time/Year/Day using Configuration would be very handy.]
