Question : Using getdate() to provide only short date

Hello, how can I use the getdate() function to only provide a short date like 12/31/2007 on an update statement?

I was thinking something like this would work but it is not...
update test
set modifieddate = getdate(convert, 101)

Answer : Using getdate() to provide only short date

convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 101) will give you a date in short format
