Implicit conversion from date to utcDateTime is not supported

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

In regards of best practice, I got a warning when doing this:

TransDate   todays = DateTimeUtil::date(DateTimeUtil::getToday(Datetimeutil::getUserPreferredTimeZone()));

the warning is at the topic subject.

So what is the best approach of getting todays date to comply with BP ?

Thanks

    hi,

    Use this way

    1. TransDate   todays = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDate(DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone());

    2. TransDate   todays = DateTimeUtil::date(DateTimeUtil::utcNow());

    In Date function, we need to pass utcDateTime,

    0044.Date.png

    and getToday function returns date

    that's why BP warning says "Implicit conversion from date to utcDateTime is not supported"

    Uday

    HI WWwong,

    DateTimeUtil::date() requires DateTime, but DateTimeUtil::getToday() returns Date.
