DateTime Calculation

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hello Reader


I am trying to calculate the DateTime that was 7 days ago.

I tried to calculate it like that:

DateTime1 := DateTime2 - 7D;

But that doesn't work: (Error Message)

Constant value '7D' is outside the range for a Date. The syntax for defining Date format is yyyymmddD, where D is a mandatory letter. For example, 20180325D, read as the 25th of March, 2018.

    You can split the date and time, and do calcdate on the date.

    CalcDate := DT2DATE(Datetime2);

    CalcDate := CalcDate('<-7D>',CalcDate);

    DateTime1 := CREATEDATETIME(CalcDate,DT2TIME(DateTime2));
