    DateTimeUtil::date([utcDateTime]) will work. But did you notice that you are actually trying to assign the EmpStartDate control (an object of type FormDateControl) to your startDate variable. You should take the value from that control using EmpStartDate.dateValue().

    You need to understand  what type of parameter  values method accepts. EmpStartDate is your control not its value, so unless you pass value to date method you are not going to get results .

    Another thing you are assigning  control of datetime to date . Remove below line , its of no use

    date startdate = EmpStartDate;

    Hi Mohammed,

    Please refer this code:

    utcdateTime  testDonedateTime1;
utcdateTime  testDonedateTime;
transdate    tmpDate ;
timeofday    tmpTime;

testDonedateTime1 = inventJournalTable.PostedDateTime;
testDonedateTime  = DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset(testDonedateTime1, DateTimeUtil::getUserPreferredTimeZone())
tmpDate = DateTimeUtil::date(testDonedateTime);
tmpTime = DateTimeUtil::time(testDonedateTime);  


    Important : utcDateTime control properties TimeZonePreference set No conversion
