Hi,

i tried this :

// my current system date/time value in UTC
GMTDateTime = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime();
info(strFmt("Datetime in GMT: %1",datetime2str(GMTDateTime)));

the screen show : Datetime in GMT: 5/3/2016 08:00:49 am

    It's not about converting to datetime, it's about converting datatime to string in a specific format.

    You could do it in pure X++, nevertheless custom formatting string in .NET makes it really easy, therefore I would prefer code like this (using .NET Interop):

    System.DateTime dateTime = System.DateTime::get_UtcNow();
str utcTimeAsStr = dateTime.ToString('yyyyMdHHmmss');
    
info(strFmt("Datetime in GMT: %1",utcTimeAsStr));

    Try this 

    System.DateTime dateTime = System.DateTime::get_UtcNow();
    str utcTimeAsStr = dateTime.ToString('ddMMyyHHmmss');
    info(strFmt("Datetime in GMT: %1",utcTimeAsStr));
