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
