[Zope] formatting a date string

[Graham Chiu]

I'm still having difficulty with this.

I want to add a date to a character string ( dated user comments ) to
store into a sqltable.

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('CurrentDate', ZopeTime().Date)">

The docs say that this returns a date string ( as opposed to a date
object? )

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('mystring', 'date: '+CurrentDate)">

produces this error

Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: illegal argument type for built-in operation

And if I try this

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('mystring', 'date: '+_.str(CurrentDate))">

mystring is then 'date:'
