Difference between 2 dates

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ann2015 1,128

I Have 2 date fields one is DateTIme and another is DAte and I want to find the difference between those dates.

 Here is what I did in my code:

DateTimeUtil::getDifference(ProjStatusChangeDate, DateTimeUtil::newDateTime(tmpDate,86400) );

ProjStatusChangeDate = 7/13/2016 09:50:35 am

tmpDate = 12/31/2015

I want this math to return 213 days but its returning 16815035

I even tried daysCompleted =   datetime2str(TblProjStatusChangeDate,213) -  datetime2str(tmpDate); but same results.

What am I doing wrong?


Thank You!

    Hi Ann2015,

    Try the next statement:

    daysCompleted = DateTimeUtil::date(TblProjStatusChangeDate) - tmpDate;

    Another option is

    #TimeConstants

days = DateTimeUtil::getDifference(ProjStatusChangeDate, DateTimeUtil::newDateTime(tmpDate,86400) ) div #SecondsPerDay;
