the systemdate actually is NOT undocumented AFAIK, it even made its way into the manual.
the only thing, which is undocumented since the beginning (dunno why though and can't figure it either) is the VERY useful seconds property of the date object.
Not really 'undocumented' - just not described in the help entry for the systemDate.
What's 'left out' is that since the systemDate returns a data object and 2 properties of all date objects are .seconds & .minutes that therefore (the systemDate).seconds & (the systemDate).minutes are included within that returned object.
note - these props have been viewable (in action) in the list view of a castLib.
... member().modifiedDate()
& sure, the docs for the systemDate could include examples of this ... (to expose this subtlety)
