Convert time to 12 Hours format to 24 Hours format

Posted on by premK6969 198

Hi there we got an requirement to develop an CSV file generation of some of the fields from RetailTransactionTable and SalesLine which will be useful to integrate with other platforms. Here our client want the time in 24 hours format but we are passing in 12 Hours format with AM/PM and also Date field needs to be DateTime. Please find my requirements mentioned below and suggest me accordingly.

1. RetailTransactionTable.transtime will return 12 Hours format with AM/PM. I need to change this to 24 Hours format as H:M:S  format

2. SalesLine.ShippingDateRequiested  will return only date but our client wants display this in CSV as DateTime with YYYY/MM/SS H:M:S  format

Thanks,

Prem

    Hy, I wouldn't do any changes here on code base or the stored format inside D365FO. Instead I would prefer to process the required format after being exported from D365FO, depends on how you create (DMF ?) and transport the csv file. As I know the requested Shipping date can only be entered from user as a date without time.

    HI premK6969

    1. I believe you have wrong information here. It's stored in the database in seconds. How you see it in D365 forms depends on your own user settings.

    2. You can add 00:00:00 in your export file

    Hi Nikolaos,  is there any way to convert 12 Hours to 24 Hours since it was requested by client and regarding the second point we will inform them to update manually.

    field Name : RetailTransactionTable.transTime

    Base Output : H:M:S AM/PM

    Required Output :  H:M:S 24 Hours Format

    My suggestion is to export the data as it is (seconds) and let the consumer of the CSV file determine how to show it to the users.

    You can use time2Str function to convert time to string: docs.microsoft.com/.../xpp-conversion-run-time-functions

    However I have a feeling that you're trying to solve the formatting in the wrong place. Normally this kind of formatting should happen when the information is displayed to the user. Not when a CSV file is exported from the system. Could you please double check this with your customer?
