Posted on by Community Member

Global::TimeDifference method was used in ax 2009. I want to replace a same method in 2012.

What can I use to get the difference between two dates in dynamics ax 2012 just convert the dates into numbers and subtract one from the other. The result type would be TimeHour24.

The calculation you described can return values outside TimeHour24 data type? How do you want to handle these cases?

Maybe you're looking for timeConsumed().

Also consider using DateTimeUtil::getDifference() and calculating what exactly you need. Using .NET functions for subtracting DateTime values (and returning TimeSpan) are also very useful in some cases.

Hi Inci,

can you cehck with below code.

static void TimeDiff_JOB(Args _args)

{

FromTime fromTime;

ToTime toTime;

FromDateTime ftime;

ToDateTime ttime;

fromTime = timeNow();

toTime = timeNow() + 300; //Timeconsumed()

info(strFmt('Time consumed %1', timeConsumed(fromTime, toTime)));

ftime = DateTimeUtil::newDateTime(systemDateGet(),timeNow());

ttime = DateTimeUtil::newDateTime(systemDateGet(),timeNow() + 300);

//DateTimeUtil::getDifference

info(strFmt('Get difference %1', time2StrHMS(int642int(DateTimeUtil::getDifference(ttime, ftime)))));

}

Thanks

Firstly, thanks everyone for answers.

I write a method as below code.

static TimeHour24 GetTimeDifference(TimeHour24 _startTime, TimeHour24 _endTime)
{
TimeHour24 Time;

;

Time = _endTime - _startTime;

if(Time > 0)
Time = Time;
else if(Time < 0)
Time = Global::timeMax() + Time;
else
Time = 0;

return Time;
}
