function NOW() to return sysdate

Hello,

I would like to write an Oracle function called NOW() for compatibility with PostgreSQL. I would like such a function to simply return sysdate. I would also like to set the date format to standard Unix 'date -I' AKA ISO 8601 format. Anyone know how these portability tasks could be accomplished?

Thanks,
