CURRENT_DATE is undocumented in the documentation, there is no CURRENT_DATE in chapter 11 : Context variables

http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/reference_material/html/langrefupd25-variables.html

Can it be used for updating a database entry? For example

UPDATE tablename SET lastmodified=CURRENT_DATE WHERE ...

or do i have always to use

UPDATE tablename SET lastmodified=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP WHERE ...

if lastmodified is a timestamp field and i only want the date in the field updated, but time should stay 00:00 ?

CURRENT_DATE already existed in InterBase, that's why it is not documented in the Language Reference *Update*.
It will be in the full Language Reference, of course.

As for your question: yes, you can assign CURRENT_DATE (or any date expression, for that matter) to a TIMESTAMP field.
But next time, please ask this type of question in the firebird-support group.
The tracker is for bug reports and requests for new features, enhancements etc.
